TL;DR: In this paper, fly ash treatment can effectively reduce the swell potential of highly plastic clays and prevent the swell beneath the smaller foundation pressures. Fly ash is used in the combustion of subbituminous coals and exhibits self-cementing characteristics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of lime and fly ash on the compressibility and hydraulic characteristics of an expansive soil in Cyprus was evaluated. But the results were limited to a series of laboratory tests.

TL;DR: In this paper, a research was conducted to study the effectiveness of ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS), an industrial byproduct, for providing better stabilization of sulfate bearing soils.

TL;DR: In this paper, the industrial byproduct Soma fly ash has been used to improve the engineering properties of the soil and significant reduction in the swell potential and an increase in the hydraulic conductivity values are obtained.

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt has been made to use cation exchange capacity (CEC) values to substantiate the findings that, with increasing percentage of fly ash and curing time, soils become more granular in nature and show higher hydraulic conductivity values.
