Use of class c fly ashes for the stabilization of an expansive soil
TLDR
In this article, several methods have been suggested to control the excessive heave associated with swelling of expansive soils, which can cause considerable distress to lightweight civil engineering structures, such as bridges.Abstract:

Physicochemical and engineering behavior of cement treated clays
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the microstructure and engineering properties of cement-treated marine clay was examined using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, pH measurement, mercury intrusion porosimetry, and laser diffractometric measurement of the particle size distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fly ash on engineering properties of expansive soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of fly ash content on the free swell index, swell potential, swelling pressure, plasticity, compaction, strength, and hydraulic conductivity characteristics of expansive soil was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Fly Ash, Lime, and Polyester Fibers on Compaction and Strength Properties of Expansive Soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of polyester fiber inclusions and lime stabilization on the geotechnical characteristics of fly ash-soil mixtures were investigated, and it was concluded that the expansive soil can be successfully stabilized by the combined action of fibers, lime, and fly ash.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stabilizing Soft Fine-Grained Soils with Fly Ash
TL;DR: In this paper, the effectiveness of self-cementing fly ashes derived from combustion of sub- bituminous coal at electric power plants for stabilization of soft fine-grained soils was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stabilization of a Clayey Soil with Fly Ash and Lime: A Micro Level Investigation
TL;DR: In this article, the improvement in the strength of a locally available cohesive soil by addition of both fly ash and lime was reported, and micro level analysis confirmed the breaking of montmorrillonite structure present in the untreated clay after stabilization.
