COMPACTION AND SHEAR STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF CLAYEY SOIL USING CEMENT AND BAGASSE ASH

Abstract

This study investigates the compaction and shear strength characteristics of clayey soil treated with cement and bagasse ash. The addition of cement and bagasse ash is evaluated for its potential to improve the engineering properties of clayey soil, commonly used in construction projects. Various tests, including compaction and shear strength, are performed to assess the effects of different proportions of cement and bagasse ash on the soil's stability and strength. Results demonstrate significant improvements in compaction properties and shear strength, suggesting that cement and bagasse ash are effective stabilizing agents for enhancing clayey soil performance in engineering applications.
