Soil Stabilization, Expansive Soil, Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), Strength Properties.

Due to the spectacular expansion of road infrastructure, soil stabilization has become a key challenge in construction activity in developing nations like India. Stabilization is a method of altering or modifying one or more soil qualities to enhance soil's engineering features and performance and the processing of existing resources to provide low-cost design and construction. Low plasticity and shear strength are common characteristics of expansive soils. These soils provide major geotechnical and structural engineering issues worldwide, with yearly expenses related to expansive behavior estimated to be billions of dollars. Expansive soils have a significant volume change in response to changes in water content, indicating that they are volumetrically unstable owing to seasonal moisture variations. When they are wet, their strength drops, and their compressibility increases dramatically. By varying the content of ground granulated blast furnace slag, a waste by-product released during iron and steel metals processing, the cohesive natured clayey soil was chosen and checked for compaction properties and other general soil characteristics keeping the above problem in mind. According to the findings of this investigation, the rise in ggbs concentration causes a considerable decrease in the clay's compressibility properties. Finally, ggbs-stabilized composite soil proved to be a valuable construction material for complicated civil engineering structures such as dirt mounds, earthen dams, and runways. The use of ggbs for soil stabilization is cost-effective and environmentally friendly, as it recycles industrial waste.
