“…is observation agrees well with previous studies on the efficacy of marble dust utilization in reducing the swelling potential of expansive soil [17,20,31,33,34,36,47]. A regression model has been established to predict the swelling potential of the expansive soil stabilized with different percentages of MD.…”

“…e unconfined compressive tests were carried out on an untreated expansive soil specimen and five treated expansive soil specimens mixed with the various percentages of MD at their MDD and OMC for 7 days of curing time. is curing time was selected due to previous research showing that increasing the curing time to more than 7 days does not have a significant effect in increasing TECS strength [31,41]. e results of tests in the form of unconfined compressive strength versus strain are presented in Figure 10.…”

“…e marble dust powder has a huge amount of lime content and had been suggested by numerous researchers for expansive soil improvement. Several studies [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] examined the enhancement of expansive soils by the addition of marble dust in different percentages. ey showed the advantageous uses of marble dust alone or in combination with chemicals and waste stabilizers such as lime, cement, and fly ash to improve the various properties of expansive soils.…”

The marble process industry from Shaq Al-Thouban region, which is located in East Cairo, Egypt, produces a huge amount of marble wastes every day during the cutting and processing stages. Up to now, most of these wastes are dumping on open land which creates serious environmental problems. The amount of waste marble from the processing stage is about 20 to 25% of the total processed stone. Egypt also suffers from the problem of expansive soil that occupies a large area of its lands, especially in the new cities that are built on these lands. The primary purpose of this study is to use this waste material in the soil stabilization in point of view utilization of this waste as local low-cost materials and elimination of their negative environmental impacts. The waste marble dust was mixed with expansive soil samples with various percentages of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% by dry weight of soil. Different tests including Atterberg’s limits, standard Proctor compaction, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California bearing ratio (CBR), swelling percentage, linear shrinkage (LS) tests, and XRF and XRD analyses were conducted for natural and marble dust stabilized soils. The soil mixtures used for UCS, CBR, and swell tests were compacted at the optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density (MDD) using the standard Proctor compaction method and cured for 7 days. The results of the tests showed that there are significant effects in enhancing the properties of expansive soils. Also, the results showed that as the percentage of the marble dust increases the plasticity index, the swelling potential of the expansive clayey soil decreases. Furthermore, the optimum moisture content decreases, and the maximum dry density increases. Also, UCS, CBR, and the calcite content of the soil mixtures increase with the increase in marble dust content.

“…One of the methods of soil stabilization is the use of natural, chemical or by-product materials as additives in the soil [31,40,44,47,50,56]. Utilization of waste materials as stabilizing agents grew more interest among civil engineers in the recent years to manage waste.…”

This study aims to assess the suitability of micro-silica (MS) as an industrial waste to modify the hydro-mechanical behavior of expansive soil in comparison with the use of lime as a traditional stabilizer. Due to limitations associated with soil treatment with calcium-based materials, the effect of lime-micro-silica (LMS) on stabilization of expansive clay was also studied with the aim of reducing the amount of lime consumption. The clay was stabilized with different percentages of lime alone (3% and 5%), MS alone (10% and 20%) and mixtures of LMS (3-10%, 5-10%, 3-20% and 5-20%). Experimental study performed on treated and untreated specimens included the reactivity tests measuring the pozzolanicity of the additives, compaction characteristics and Atterberg limits of mixtures, one-dimensional swell, compressibility, shrinkage, unconfined compressive strength of compacted specimens of different mixtures, as well as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and wet chemistry analysis to study the mineralogy, microstructure and chemical composition of specimens. The results showed that the addition of MS alone did not have a significant effect on the stabilization of expansive soil, whereas stabilization with LMS achieved promising results with 10% MS ? 3% lime mixture, hence achieving the goals of recycling MS as well as minimizing the amount of lime used. This combination was effective in improving the hydro-mechanical behavior of the clay due to formation of cementitious compounds resulting from pozzolanic reactions between Ca 2? of lime and SiO 2 of micro-silica.

“…Atık malzemelerin zemin iyileştirilmesinde kullanımı atıkların hem ekonomiye kazandırılması hem de çevreye olabilecek zararlı etkilerinin ortadan kaldırılmasına katkı sağlayacağından birçok araştırmacının ilgisini çekmektedir [1][2][3]. Katkı maddeleri olarak kireç, çimento, bitüm gibi malzemelerin yanı sıra, son yirmi yılda uçucu kül, silis dumanı, yüksek fırın cürufu, cam tozu gibi endüstriyel atıkların bu amaç için kullanımı ön plana çıkmaktadır [4][5][6][7]. Bu malzemelerden silis dumanı silisyum metali veya ferro-silisyum (FeSi) alaşımlarının üretimi sırasında kullanılan elektrik fırınlarında yüksek saflıkta kuvarsitin kömür ve odun parçacıkları ile indirgenmesi sonucu elde edilen çok ince malzemelerdir.…”

Dünya nüfusundaki artış endüstriyel atık malzemelerin artmasına neden olmaktadır. Endüstriyel atıkların stabilizasyonda katkı malzemesi olarak kullanımı, atıkların çevre üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerini azaltmak için kullanılan bir çözümdür. Bu çalışmanın amacı, uçucu kül, silis dumanı, yüksek fırın cürufu ve cam tozu ile stabilize edilmiş ince daneli zeminin mühendislik özelliklerini belirlemektir. İnce daneli zemin, kuru ağırlığının %10, %20, %30, %40 ve %50 oranında atık malzeme kullanılarak stabilize edilmiştir. Deney sonuçlarına göre, yüksek fırın cürufunun plastisite indisinin azaltılması ve drenajsız kayma mukavemetinin artırılmasında en etkili atık olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, artan silis dumanı oranı ve %20 atık oranından sonra yüksek fırın cürufu ile cam tozunun lineer rötreyi azalttığı tespit edilmiştir.
