Evaluating the Efficiency of Dust Stone as an Improvement Material for Cement Gravel Column

Abstract:

This research explores the feasibility of incorporating dust stone into cement gravel columns to enhance their mechanical properties and sustainability profile. A series of laboratory experiments including unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and permeability tests were carried out. 15 mixture designs were prepared to investigate the effect of stone dust (5-20% of cement and 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% by weight of highest porous sample) on volume fractions of CG samples on engineering and physical properties of cemented gravel samples, at 7 and 28 days. The findings indicate that the ideal proportion of stone dust is 10%, which significantly enhances the compressibility of the CG mixture while preserving satisfactory permeability. The finding indicates that stone dust is a feasible and efficient additive for improving the performance of cement gravel columns in civil engineering applications. Moreover, stone dust provides sustainability advantages by minimizing waste production and contributing to a circular economy.
