Objectives
• To reduce the dumping problem of waste
produced by the method of incineration.
• To reduce the thickness of sub-grade for flexible
pavement.
• To reduce the cost of flexible pavement design.
• To increase the bearing capacity of soil.
Soil Stabilization
Soil stabilization techniques involve changing soil
characteristics by a physical action, such as vibration,
or by the inclusion or mixing in the soil of a stronger
material. The aim of this process is as follows:
 Increase the load-bearing capacity and/or the
shear strength
 Reduce both absolute and differential settlements
or in certain cases, accelerate them and so on.
Methodology
• Mechanical method of Stabilization - In this
method, soils of different gradations are mixed
together to obtain the desired property in the soil.
• Additive method of stabilization - It refers to the
addition of manufactured products into the soil,
which in proper quantities to enhance the quality
of the soil.
Municipal Burnt Solid Waste
For Soil Stabilization
Solid Waste (SW) is the material
that arises from various human and
economic activities. In this method,
waste collected from the dumping
yards is set for burning for 24 hours
on open yard to ensure complete
burning of organic matter and all
combustible matter like plastics,
rubber paper, thermo coal etc,.
which converts the solid waste into
waste ash which known as Burnt
Municipal Solid Waste.

TESTS
1.WATER CONTENT
The knowledge of the natural
moisture content is essential
in all studies of soil
mechanics. To sight a few,
natural moisture content is
used in determining the
bearing capacity and
settlement. The natural
moisture content will give an
idea of the state of soil in the
field.
2. GRAIN SIZE ANALYSIS
The grain size analysis is widely
used in classification of soils. The
data obtained from grain size
distribution curves is used in the
design of filters for earth dams and
to determine suitability of soil for
road construction, air field etc.
3. LIQUID LIMIT
Liquid limit is defined as the
minimum water content at which
a pat of soil cut by a groove of
standard dimension will flow
together for a distance of 12 mm
under an impact of 25 blows in
the device. It is the minimum
water content at which the soil is
still in the liquid state, but has a
small shearing strength against
flow.
4. PLASTIC LIMIT
It is the percentage moisture
content at which the soil
changes with decreasing
wetness from the plastic to
the semi- solid consistency or
with increasing wetness from
the semi-solid to the plastic
consistency.
5. PROCTER TEST
• This test is done to determine
the Optimum Moisture content
and Maximum Dry Density.
• This method covers the
determination of the
relationship between the
moisture content and density
of soils compacted in a mould
of a given size with a 2.6 kg
rammer dropped from a height
of 30 cm.
6. CBR
It is the ratio of force per
unit area required to
penetrate a soil mass with
standard circular piston at
the rate of 1.25 mm/min. to
that required for the
corresponding penetration
of a standard material.

B. GRAIN SIZE
We used Sieve Analysis Method for grain size
analysis.
As, Cu = 4 and Cc = 1, hence the soil is poor graded or
uniformly graded soil.

On the basis of various result such as
liquid limit, plastic limit, shrinkage
limit, max dry density and CBR value
we conclude that optimum value of ash
that is desirable to use to stabilize the
soil is found to be 8%.
As Plasticity index is 6.82 and liquid
limit is 21.1 hence soil was found as low
compressible silt and clay.
As the value of CBR is more for soil
with 8% ash than virgin soil. Hence it
increased the bearing capacity of soil.
 As thickness is sub-grade is less than virgin soil so it will reduce the cost of flexible
pavement design.
 So, we can use the BMSW ash with optimum value in flexible pavement design for
low traffic flow whose thickness will depend on the wheel load acting upon it.

  • 1. MINOR PROJECT PRESENTATION ON SOIL STABILIZATION USING BURNT MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE ASH Dr. AKHILESH DAS GUPTA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT, NEW DELHI Submitted To: Mr. Vikas Kataria Guided By: Mr. Ashwani Bharadwaj Mr. Ashish Malik Asst. Professor Civil Department Submitted By: RITESH KUMAR (41415603415) ANKUSH SINGH (40715603415) ABDUL AHAD (40115603415) VIPIN MADADH (36215603415) RACHIT TYAGI (35715603415)
  • 2. Objectives • To reduce the dumping problem of waste produced by the method of incineration. • To reduce the thickness of sub-grade for flexible pavement. • To reduce the cost of flexible pavement design. • To increase the bearing capacity of soil.
  • 3. Soil Stabilization Soil stabilization techniques involve changing soil characteristics by a physical action, such as vibration, or by the inclusion or mixing in the soil of a stronger material. The aim of this process is as follows:  Increase the load-bearing capacity and/or the shear strength  Reduce both absolute and differential settlements or in certain cases, accelerate them and so on.
  • 4. Methodology • Mechanical method of Stabilization - In this method, soils of different gradations are mixed together to obtain the desired property in the soil. • Additive method of stabilization - It refers to the addition of manufactured products into the soil, which in proper quantities to enhance the quality of the soil.
  • 5. Municipal Burnt Solid Waste For Soil Stabilization Solid Waste (SW) is the material that arises from various human and economic activities. In this method, waste collected from the dumping yards is set for burning for 24 hours on open yard to ensure complete burning of organic matter and all combustible matter like plastics, rubber paper, thermo coal etc,. which converts the solid waste into waste ash which known as Burnt Municipal Solid Waste.
  • 6. List of experiments Water content by oven drying method Particle size analysis by Sieving Atterberg’s limit test Liquid Limit Plastic Limit Shrinkage Limit Proctor test CBR test
  • 8. 1.WATER CONTENT The knowledge of the natural moisture content is essential in all studies of soil mechanics. To sight a few, natural moisture content is used in determining the bearing capacity and settlement. The natural moisture content will give an idea of the state of soil in the field.
  • 9. 2. GRAIN SIZE ANALYSIS The grain size analysis is widely used in classification of soils. The data obtained from grain size distribution curves is used in the design of filters for earth dams and to determine suitability of soil for road construction, air field etc.
  • 10. 3. LIQUID LIMIT Liquid limit is defined as the minimum water content at which a pat of soil cut by a groove of standard dimension will flow together for a distance of 12 mm under an impact of 25 blows in the device. It is the minimum water content at which the soil is still in the liquid state, but has a small shearing strength against flow.
  • 11. 4. PLASTIC LIMIT It is the percentage moisture content at which the soil changes with decreasing wetness from the plastic to the semi- solid consistency or with increasing wetness from the semi-solid to the plastic consistency.
  • 12. 5. PROCTER TEST • This test is done to determine the Optimum Moisture content and Maximum Dry Density. • This method covers the determination of the relationship between the moisture content and density of soils compacted in a mould of a given size with a 2.6 kg rammer dropped from a height of 30 cm.
  • 13. 6. CBR It is the ratio of force per unit area required to penetrate a soil mass with standard circular piston at the rate of 1.25 mm/min. to that required for the corresponding penetration of a standard material.

  • 45. On the basis of various result such as liquid limit, plastic limit, shrinkage limit, max dry density and CBR value we conclude that optimum value of ash that is desirable to use to stabilize the soil is found to be 8%. As Plasticity index is 6.82 and liquid limit is 21.1 hence soil was found as low compressible silt and clay. As the value of CBR is more for soil with 8% ash than virgin soil. Hence it increased the bearing capacity of soil.
  • 46.  As thickness is sub-grade is less than virgin soil so it will reduce the cost of flexible pavement design.  So, we can use the BMSW ash with optimum value in flexible pavement design for low traffic flow whose thickness will depend on the wheel load acting upon it.
