The usability of industrial wastes on soil stabilization

Abstract

Soils are made stronger and more durable by mixing additive materials. In particular, the use of waste provides environmental and economic advantages for this case. Wastes form in large quantities, however, which creates storage problems. To objective of this study is to research the availability of industrial wastes for soil stabilization. An experimental study was conducted on granular soil specimens mixed with industrial wastes such as marble and granite dust, boron waste, and fly ash in different ratios. Each mixture used two waste materials together. Specifically, fly ash was used with three additional waste materials because of its pozzolanic characteristics. The tests performed included freezing-thawing, unconfined compression strength, and California bearing ratio. The results of the study show that the strength of a specimen is dependent on the additive ratio, curing period, and the number of freeze-thaw cycles. Generally, unconfined compressive strength and California bearing ratio increased with additive materials and curing times. After freezing and thawing, unconfined compressive strength (except granite dust) decreased, whereas weight loss increased due to increasing additives and increasing freeze-thaw cycles.

Investigation of boron waste usage in civil engineering applications

“…Zorluer and Gücek (2020) [47] conducted an experimental study by mixing boron wastes with different industrial wastes such as marble dust at different rates. While the highest strength was observed in the 5GD-10FA sample in granite dust (GD)fly ash (FA) mixtures, the highest strength was observed in the 10BR-20FA sample in the boron waste dust (BR)fly ash (FA) mixtures.…”

A Review of the Status of Scientific Research and Practical Techniques Related to Using Cement Kiln Dust to Stabilize Weak Soils

“…As for coarse soils permanently governed by mineralogical structure while a fine soils mostly effected by minerals characteristics in a big extent [19]. The concept of soil stabilization can be defined as the process in which the properties of weak soil are enhanced in order to accomplish its tasks as bases for the structural structure based on it [20], [21], [22].…”

“…Generally, Stabilized soils are complex soils, whose properties are improved by additives [29], [26]. Finally, the soil stabilization is an increase in its engineering characteristics (resistance, durability, bearing capacity, and hydraulic conductivity) when it exposed to wetting-drying cycle, in addition to environmental revitalization [6], [21]. It is a practical treatment for a weak soil to withstand or the proficiency of its durability or raise its efficiency as a good building material [30].…”

Changes of Physical and Mechanical Parameters of Grounds by Adding of Colemanite and Recycled Ceramics in Poorly Graded Sands

“…In order to test the relationship between boron waste and sedimentation, in dynamic tests performed on a mixture of clays with different plasticity values, it was determined by the researchers that the shear modulus for high plasticity clays increased threefold and the minimum damping ratio decreased at the same rate [9]. In another ground research study in which y ash and boron waste were used together in ne-grained sands, weight loss occurred in freeze-thaw experiments [10]. The use of waste as impermeable material in land lls has been examined and compared with geo-membranes, and it has been recommended for use [11].…”
