In this study, variable returns to scale (VRS) data envelopment analysis was integrated into the Taguchi approach to optimize ternary additives for expansive soil enhancement. The ternary additives selected were sawdust ash (SDA), quarry dust (QD) and ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The additives were set as the input variables while multiple responses obtained from the experiments performed with the Taguchi orthogonal array were set as the output variables. Each row in the orthogonal array were defined as a decision making unit (DMU) in the optimization process and output-oriented VRS model was used to obtain the efficiency score for each DMU. Next, benevolent formulation was utilized to obtain the multipliers for the inputs and outputs which were subsequently used to determine the cross efficiency scores for each DMU. The cross-efficiency scores were used to construct the cross-efficiency matrix. Thereafter, the mean cross-efficiency score (MCES) was determined for each DMU. Parameter level that maximizes the MCES was chosen as the optimal level for that parameter. Optimum combination of additives was found at A6 B2 C3. Lastly, confirmatory experiments performed by blending the soil with the optimum combination of additives showed the effectiveness of this method in the enhancement of expansive soil properties.

“…The slump cone test of fresh concrete, density of hardened concrete, and compressive strength of hardened concrete were tested and observed. Slump, density and compressive strength tests of the specimens were carried out in accordance with [12] and [3], respectively. Density and compressive strength results were obtained for the concrete cubes at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of curing.…”

This study shows the comparative analysis engineering, the physical and mechanical properties of river sand concrete with quarry dust concrete. The selected materials were batched by weight and volume. The water-cement ratio was opted as 0.50 1:2:4 for mix ratio was selected for the experimental investigation, respectively. The specimens were cured for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. For the purpose Slump, density and compressive strength tests were carried out. The river sand concrete showed better results and greater density and compressive strength than quarry dust concrete for all curing ages. The 28 days of curing, river sand concrete rise the required compressive strength by 36%, whereas quarry dust concrete was less than the limit compressive strength by 12%. Both river sand concrete and quarry dust concrete for the selected water/cement ratio and mix ratio has been found suitable for non-structural applications and lightly loaded members where high strength is not a prerequisite.

“…Quarry dust is the waste produced by the granite crushing process. Once dried, fine dust is produced, causing serious human health problems as well as serious environmental threats to soil and water contamination [13]. Mir [14] noted that the ability to adapt to quarry dust as a sand substitute material, and it demonstrated that the mechanical properties and the elastic modulus had been increased.…”

The amount of waste, associated waste disposal costs, and environmental contamination may be minimized by identifying effective recycling approaches. These promising approaches will also lead to the protection of natural resources and economic gains. One example of waste disposal maybe by using it as a filling material or as a pozzolanic material for the production of concrete. In this regard, this study proposes to partially replace cement with aluminum dross and fly ash, and partially replace natural sand with quarry dust. Aluminum dross, cement, sand, and quarry dust were used in a variety of proportions with a constant percentage of fly ash for the design of nine concrete mixtures. Aluminum dross was replaced by 5, 10, 15, and 20% of the cement mass. At first, the optimum replacement of aluminum dross without using quarry dust was determined at a constant percentage of fly ash-15% based on the strength results. Later, by introducing the optimum substitution of aluminum dross with cement and fly ash, the quarry dust was partially replaced at 10, 20, 30, and 40% of river sand to determine the overall optimum mix. The mechanical and durability characteristics of the concrete using the three mixtures were analyzed. It has been observed that the mechanical and durability characteristics of a concrete mixture incorporating a fly ash-15%, aluminum dross-10%, and quarry dust-20% are better than that of standard concrete. Production of concrete using industrial waste can minimize infrastructure construction costs and reduce environmental impacts.
