Compaction and shear strength characteristics of colemanite ore waste modified active belite cement stabilized high plasticity soils

Effect of Boron Active Belite Cement on the Compressive Strength of Concrete Exposed to High Temperatures

“…Thus, considering the above discussion, BAB production appears to be more environmentally friendly when compared to OPC production. Therefore, it is important to conduct researches on the usability of BAB cement in different engineering applications [9][10][11].…”

Investigation of the Effect of Different Saturation Methods on the Undrained Shear Strength of a Clayey Soil Compacted with Standard and Modified Proctor Energies

“…In a mold with a diameter of 102 mm and a height of 117 mm; the clay was filled up in three equal layers and 25 strokes were applied to each layer with a 2.5 kg hammer by performing falls from a height of 305 mm. As a result of Standard Proctor compaction test, maximum dry unit volume weight was determined as 16.50 kN/m 3 and optimum water content as 19.0% (Fig. 2).…”

“…In order to have the dry density of the samples homogeneous throughout the sample and to minimize the undesired local voids in the sample, the samples were compacted in three layers in the compaction process. The compaction apparatus used (for both SPE and MPE samples) was designed to have the height of every layer as 35 mm and length of the sample as 105 mm and diameter of the sample as 50.0 mm in total (Yilmaz and Ozaydin, 2013). The bottom diameter of the compaction hammers was specified as 49.50 mm.…”

Compressibility Characteristics of Compacted Clay Treated with Cement, Peat Ash and Silica Sand

“…Such soils need to be improved so as to meet the geotechnical requirements of the correspondent engineering application (Eberemu 2015). Previous studies have proven that it is viable to use waste materials as partial cement replacement materials to stabilize soft soils (Baghdadi 1990;Collins & Emery 1983;Purwana & Nikraz 2013;Wong et al 2013;Yilmaz & Ozaydin 2013). According to Isaia et al (2003) and Wong et al (2013), pozzolanic materials have many advantages such as CO 2 emission reduction when they used as replacement materials for Portland cement.…”

“…Therefore, it is important to utilize waste materials to minimize the amount of cement and save the amount of input cement. The research to find alternative raw materials and to reduce energy consumption and protect the environment in cement production is of global concern (Yilmaz & Ozaydin 2013). With respect to this, peat ash was obtained from fresh peat after burning in a muffle furnace (ASTM D2974-14).…”
