Clay Soil Stabilisation Using Bioenzyme

Journal of Geotechnical Studies, 2023
The engineering properties of the soils can be improvised, higher soil compaction densities are also possible, and soil stability is also increased by the use of a bio enzyme named Terrazyme. It is a naturally obtained, non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-corrosive liquid enzyme formulated from various fermented vegetables, fruits, sugarcane extracts and

Lime stabilisation of pyroclastic soils

2010
Natural pozzolanas are very reactive with calcium oxide (CaO) provided by lime, the effectiveness of the stabilisation mainly depending on the amount of low alkali alluminosilicate glass phase. Nevertheless there is a lack of systematic studies on the suitability of pyroclastic soils to lime stabilisation, and the effects of the treatment parameters on

Sustainable binders for soil stabilisation

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Ground Improvement, 2010
Portland cement is the most commonly and widely used binder in ground improvement soil stabilisation applications. However, many changes are now affecting the selection and application of stabilisation additives. These include the significant environmental impacts of Portland cement, increased use of industrial by-products and their variability ...

Bio-methods for soil stabilisation

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Ground Improvement, 2012
The Philippines is a country of approximately 7000 islands and experiences monsoons and typhoons to an average of 20–30 typhoons per year which bring heavy rainfall. Due to the combinations of heavy rainfall and loss of indigenous vegetation, increasingly the Philippines is experiencing larger and more numerous landslides.

Soil stabilisation by cellulose xanthate

Nature, 1978
CELLULOSE XANTHATE is unusually effective in stabilising soil against attrition and deformation. At a concentration of about 0.1% in the soil it reduces erosion; at higher concentrations it can be used to bind soils to improve their mechanical strength.

Lime-stabilised soil building blocks

Batiment International, Building Research and Practice, 1979
Developing countries essentially need lowtechnology methods which can be applied to materials that are easily available. Here the author reports the results of co-operation between the UK and Ghana which has shown how tropical lateritic soils can be stabilised with lime to produce building blocks well-suited to local needs, especially in wet tropical ...

Microstructural features of lime-stabilised pyroclastic soils

Géotechnique Letters, 2013
Some results of an experimental investigation on a lime-stabilised Italian pyroclastic soil are presented and discussed. This material is very reactive with calcium oxide (CaO) provided by the lime, the effectiveness of the stabilisation mainly depending on the amount of low alkali alumino-silicate glass phase.

Lime stabilisation of clay soils

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1989
Clay soil can be stabilised by the addition of a small percentage, by weight, of lime, that is, it enhances many of the engineering properties of the soil. This produces an improved construction material and so the technique has been used for many construction purposes, notably in highway, railroad and airport construction to improve subgrades and sub ...
