Topic - Soil stabilization by cement
Aim: To determine the suitability of soil blocks made with varying cement content.
Objective(s): - To determine engineering properties of soil collected.
- To compare test results with standard values.
- To know whether soil is suitable to use according to test result.
- To determine compressive strength of cement-stabilized soil block.
Methodology: - To collect 3 different soil samples
- To conduct tests for:
- Permeability
- Shrinkage Limit, Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, plasticity limit.
- Specific gravity
- Sieve analysis
- Soil Compaction
- Mixing soil with cement and then find compressive strength.
