Abstract:
Soil stabilization has become the main issue in construction. Engineering and
researches concerning the effectiveness of exploitation industrial wastes as a stabilizer
are gradually increasing. This paper shortly describes the quality of the local ash to be
used in the local construction industry in a way to minimize the quantity of waste to
be disposed to the environment causing environmental pollution. Many civil
engineering laboratory tests are conducted to study the geotechnical properties of fly
ash and strength gain mixed with clay samples. a different proportion of fly ash and
soil sample cured for fourteen days’ results in a strength gain. Understanding of the
properties of fly ash is gained from the study and the tests indicates an improved
strength and better properties of soft soil sample when stabilized.
