Abstract:

Soil stabilization is crucial for enhancing the engineering properties of soil and constructing durable infrastructure, such as highways, airports, and roadways. The study's constituents were previously employed separately, and the soil's strength improved when they were coupled with other ingredients. Experimental investigations were conducted to assess the effects of varying proportions of C&D waste, CCR, and molasses on key soil characteristics, including compaction, shear strength, and plasticity. A series of crucial tests, including Atterberg limits, compaction characteristics, differential swell index, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis, were conducted to evaluate the performance of the stabilized soil. Test results indicated marked improvements in the Atterberg limits, reduced swell potential, and elevated values of UCS and CBR, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed stabilization method. CDW, CCR, and molasses enhance Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) by improving strength and cohesion. The addition of these chemicals significantly improved the performance of the soil, as seen by the decreased settling, enhanced strength, and greater infrastructure durability. Molasses served as an effective natural binder, while glass fibers improved tensile strength and durability by distributing stress evenly. This approach addresses waste management issues and promotes sustainable construction practices, offering a cost-effective solution for enhancing soil performance and paving the way for resilient infrastructure development.
