“…Measuring of H2S in laboratory for stabilized soil samples 2166-66. The use of compressive strength to evaluate the performance of stabilized clay is one of the most important design parameters used in earthwork projects (Yarbasi et al, 2007). Furthermore, the design criteria used in this embankment project considered compressive strength a major factor to evaluate embankment stability.…”

Approximately 1.6 million tons of gypsum waste plasterboard are produced annually in Japan. As such, it is essential toˆnd an alternative way to reduce the quantities of this waste material to avoid environmental problems and the high cost of disposal in landˆll. This paper describes a case study focused on the use of recycled gypsum, which is derived from gypsum waste plasterboard, to improve the strength of soft clay soil for embankment construction projects taken in consideration environmental impacts. Four diŠerent recycled gypsum contents ranging from 0 to 10z was investigated. Two diŠerent types of cements-Portland and Furnace slag type B-with a content ranging from 0 to 3z was used to develop solidiˆcation for recycled gypsum and improve environmental properties. For this purpose, a series of unconˆned compression tests were conducted to evaluate strength performance of treated clay. While a series of environmental tests were conducted to explore the solubility concentration of ‰uorine, boron, and hexavalent chromium in the untreated and treated soil specimens. Furthermore, hydrogen sulˆde and pH were investigated. Results showed that compressive strength and unit weight of treated clay soil increased with the increase of recycled gypsum content. The strength obtained in theˆeld for treated soil with recycled gypsum was found to be greater than that obtained in the laboratory. The early curing days for soil-gypsum mixture had a signiˆcant eŠect on strength performance compared to the later days. The additives of recycled gypsum for tested soil swiftly increased the strength. This is a vital property for improvement embankment tra‹cability that helps to reduce the construction time and cost. The use of recycled gypsum within the investigated limits had no adverse eŠect on pH value and hydrogen sulˆde gas was found to be less than the standard permitted limits. As well, the solubility concentrations for ‰uorine, boron, and hexavalent chromium were found within the permitted standard limits in Japan. The curing time had a signiˆcant eŠect on the reduction the release of harmful substance elements investigated. Furnace cement type B had the potential to improve the mechanical and environmental functions for soil-gypsum mixture. It is recommended that Furnace cement type B be used as a solidiˆcation agent for soil treated with recycled gypsum because it has low cost and it is more environmentally friendly than Portland cement.

“…Lime, cement and bitumen are commonly used additives for stabilization of expansive soils [1][2][3]. Recently, different additive materials such as fly ash, rice husk ash, silica fume, ladle furnace slag and geo fibers are used to improve some geotechnical properties of poor soils [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Besides these additives, industrial wastes such as olive oil wastes [11] and basalt fibers [12] are also used for remediation of soils.…”

Usage of marble dust was investigated for soil stabilization in the scope of utilization of waste material. Geotechnical properties, such as compaction, Atterberg limits, unconfined compressive strength of the mixtures and changes of these properties with the marble dust ratio were determined. From the test results it is seen that marble dust increases the mechanical properties of soil and application of dust wastes for soil stabilization will be an efficient practice in terms of solid waste management.
