A review on stabilization of soil using bio enzymeeSAT Journals
Abstract In developing countries like India the most important requirement of any project after performance criteria is its economical feasibility and serviceability criteria. The conventional methods are time consuming and are not economically feasible. Hence there is a need to discover the other possible ways to satisfy the performance as well as economical criteria. In this paper, popularly available bio-enzymes and their effect on engineering properties of soil are discussed. The stabilization of soil with bio-enzyme is a revolutionary technique which becoming popular worldwide. Recently there are many bio-enzymes available for soil stabilization such as renolith, Perma-Zyme, Terra-Zyme, Fujibeton etc. These enzymes have been proven to be very effective and economical. Another advantage of the bio-enzyme is that these are environment friendly. When these bio-enzymes are mixed with soil they alter its engineering properties. Their efficiency depends upon the amount of dose, type of soil available and field conditions. The use of bioenzyme in soil stabilization is not very popular due to lack of awareness between engineers and non availability of standardized data. However, recently some bio-enzyme stabilized roads were constructed in various parts of India, which are performing very well. Keywords: Bio Enzyme, Nontraditional Soil Stabilizer.

Soil is a peculiar material. Some waste materials such Fly Ash, rice husk ash, pond ash may use to
make the soil to be stable. Addition of such materials will increase the physical as well as chemical properties of
the soil. Some expecting properties to be improved are CBR value, shear strength, liquidity index, plasticity
index, unconfined compressive strength and bearing capacity etc. The objective of this study was to evaluate the
effect of Fly Ash derived from combustion of sub-bituminous coal at electric power plants in stabilization of soft
fine-grained red soils. California bearing ratio (CBR) and other strength property tests were conducted on soil.
The soil is in range of plasticity, with plasticity indices ranging between 25 and 30. Tests were conducted on
soils and soil–Fly Ash mixtures prepared at optimum water content of 9% .Addition of Fly Ash resulted in
appreciable increases in the CBR of the soil. For water contents 9% wet of optimum, CBRs of the soils are
found in varying percentage such that 3,5,6and 9.We will found optimum CBR value of the soil is 6%.Increment
of CBR value is used to reduce the thickness of the pavement. And increasing the bearing capacity of soil.

Stabilization is the process of blending and mixing materials with a soil to improve certain properties of the soil. The process may include the blending of soils to achieve a desired gradation or the mixing of commercially available additives that may alter the gradation, texture or plasticity, or act as a binder for cementation of the soil.
Stabilisation of Black cotton Soils by Using Groundnut Shell AshIJSRD
Due to rapid increase in the world’s population there is increased demand for food, and this has resulted in the production of different types of crops and consequently large amounts of agricultural wastes are generated. Hence it is necessary to dispose these agricultural wastes safely on to the environment. On other hand BC soils expands and contracts due to changes in the moisture content of the soil, causing structural problems through differential movement of the structure. This isolated movement of sections of the structure can cause damage to building foundations and cracking in the exterior or interior wall covering leads to uneven floors etc. Also cause severe cracking in pavements, swimming pools, pipelines, sidewalks, highways etc. Hence there is need to stabilize expansive soil. From these discussion we should find out the solution for the above two problems. After studying several research papers it is concluded that agricultural wastes can be used effectively in stabilization of BC soils. This project presents stabilization of BC soils using groundnut shell ash since its production increased to large extent. On addition of groundnut shell ash in increment of 15% from 0to 60% to BC soils different experiments on plasticity characteristics, compaction characteristics, shear strength characteristics are conducted .And found gradual improvement in geotechnical properties of black cotton soils.

This paper presents the effectiveness and assessment of the potential of the vacuum consolidation using Prefabricated Vertical Drain, in Mumbai marine clay, as more economical and effective method of consolidation. Large 3-D consolidation cell was designed to carry out laboratory experiments on the reconstituted soft marine clay from the project site at New Mumbai, western part of the India. Various combinations of the surcharge and vacuum loading with PVD were tested and examined. The study showed that method is feasible and save significant time for the consolidation process in turn saving in construction time of foundation on soft marine clay. The strength and stability of the clay also enhances greatly. This paper examines the applicability of Asaoka method to predict settlement of Mumbai Marine clay. An overview is also provided to some geotechnical properties such as density, moisture content, void ratio and shear strength which are predominantly affected during the vacuum preloading system. The settlement analysis was conducted using conventional solution by Hansbo and Asaoka.. The hydraulic conductivity of reconstituted specimen was back calculated. The Back calculated coefficient of radial consolidation was observed in the range of 1.45 to 2.27 m2/year and ratio of ch/cv.odeo was found to be 1.5 to 2. The addition of vacuum pressure tends to increase horizontal coefficient of consolidation leads to shorten the preloading time t by 15 to 80 % depending on the vacuum preload magnitude. The attempt is also made to find out kh/ks values for the selected soil specimen. It was observed that kh/ks value for Mumbai marine clay is about 1.50.

An Experimental Study on Soil Stabilization by Using Bio Enzymesijtsrd
Normal The conventional methods are time consuming and are not efficiently feasible. Hence there is a need to find the other possible ways to assure the performance as well as economical criteria. These enzymes have been confirmed to be very effective and economical. Another benefit of the bioenzyme is that these are environment friendly. The efficiency of bio enzyme depends upon the quantity of dosage, type of soil and curing period. In our country vast areas consist of black soils. As the conservative soil stabilizers like gravel, sand and others are depleting and becoming dear day by day at a very rapid pace, it becomes essential to look towards for alternative eco friendly stabilizers as their alternate. Recently a lot of Bio enzymes have emerged as cost effective stabilizers for soil stabilization. Some such type of bio enzyme, like Terazyme, bagasse ash, lime etc. has been used in the present work. Recently many Bio enzymes have emerged as value powerful stabilizers for soil stabilization. One such bio enzyme, Terrazyme, has been used within side the gift paintings to take a look at its impact at the Unconfined Compressive electricity of the Black Cotton soil. It has been located that Terrazyme dealt with Black Cotton soil suggests vast boom in Unconfined Compressive electricity with longer curing period.

LABORATORY INVESTIGATION OF DIFFERENT ADDITIVES TO CHARACTERIZE THE PERFORMAN...Harshit Singh
The aim of this paper is to examine the effect of some non-conventional additives on the properties of soil. In this paper,
an attempt has been made to study the compaction and CBR characteristics tests of locally available soil mixing with different
percentages (added individually and in combinations) of Silica Fume, Terrasil and Zycobond with a view to determine the optimum
percentage. The current research shows the effective utilization of micro silica fume terrasil and zycobond in the improvement of
sub grade characteristics of expansive soil. This paper deals with the review of some previous studies that are done to improve
properties of weak soil by Micro silica, Terrasil and Zycobond.
Bio-enzyme is a natural, non toxic, non flammable, non-corrosive liquid enzyme formulation fermented
from vegetable extracts that improves the engineering qualities of soil, facilitates higher soil compaction densities
and increases stability. Enzyme catalyze the reactions between the clay and the organic cat-ions and accelerate the
cat-ionic exchange process to reduce adsorbed layer thickness. For other types of chemical stabilization,
chemicals are mixed with soil, which is difficult to mix thoroughly, but bio-enzyme is easy to use as it can be
mixed with water at optimum moisture content and then it is sprayed over soil and compacted. Recently many
Bio-enzymes have emerged as cost effective stabilizers for soil stabilization. One such bio-enzyme, Terrazyme,
has been used in the present work to study its effect on the CBR value of the Black Cotton soil. The tests
conducted in this project are specific gravity, plastic limit, liquid limit, CBR and standard proctor test. In this
project, local soil was mixed with Terrazyme with different dosages i.e. 0.25 ml per 100 ml of water, 0.50 ml per
100 ml of water, 0.75 ml per 100 ml of water, and 1 ml per 100 ml of water was mixed subjected to various tests
as mentioned. All the testing programs have given optimum value at 0.5 ml terrazyme per 100ml of water. The
pavement thickness values reduced by improving the sub grade strength (CBR value).The cost analysis done for
this project by using CBR values of the experiments with the reference of pavement design catalogue MORD
specification table. The pavement construction value is reduced 30% of the total cost with the help of my
laboratory testing results.
Soil stabilization is the permanent physical and chemical alteration of soils to enhance their physical properties.
Stabilization can increase the shear strength of a soil and control the shrink-swell properties of a soil, thus improving the load-bearing capacity of a sub-grade to support pavements and foundations.
Stabilization can be used to treat a wide range of sub-grade materials from expansive clays to granular materials.
Stabilization can be achieved with a variety of chemical additives including lime, fly ash, and Portland cement, as well as by-products such as lime-kiln dust and cement-kiln dust.
1) Mechanical Soil Stabilization Technique:
Dense and well graded material can be achieved by mixing and compacting two or more soils of different grades.
Addition of a small amount of fine materials such as silts or clays enables binding of the non-cohesive soils which increases strength of the material.
Factors affecting the mechanical stability of mixed soil may include:
The mechanical strength and purity of the constituent materials
The percentage of materials and its gradation in the mix
The degree of soil binding taking place
The mixing, rolling, and compaction procedures adopted in the field
The environmental and climatic conditions
2) Compaction Soil Stabilisation Technique:
Uses mechanical means for expulsion of air voids within the soil mass resulting in soil that can bear load subsequently without further immediate compression.
Dynamic compaction is one of the major types of soil stabilization; in this procedure, a heavyweight is dropped repeatedly onto the ground at regular intervals to quite literally pound out deformities and ensure a uniformly packed surface.
1) Moisture Content. 2) Specific gravity of soil. 3) Atterberg’s limit. 4) Liquid limit. 5) Particle size distribution. 6) Preparation of reinforced soil sample. 7) Determination of shear strength.
1) Moisture Content
Soil tests natural moisture content of the soil is to be determined. The natural water content also called the natural moisture content is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of the solids in a given mass of soil.
2) Specific gravity of soil.
The specific gravity of soil is defined as the unit weight of the soil mass divided by the unit weight of distilled water at 4°C.
3) Atterberg’s limit
Atterberg's limits are a set of tests used in soil mechanics to determine the plasticity and compressibility characteristics of soil
1. It improves the strength of the soil, thus, increasing the soil bearing capacity.
2. It is a lot of economical each in terms of price and energy to extend.
3. Bearing capacity of the soil instead of going for deep foundation or raft foundation.
4. It offers more stability to the soil in slopes or other such places.
5. Sometimes soil stabilization is also stop soil erosion or formation of mud, which is extremely helpful particularly in dry and arid weather.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product.

Abstract
Engineers often face the problem of constructing facilities on or with soils, which do not posses sufficient strength to support the loads
imposed upon them either during construction or during the service life of the structure. Vast areas of India consist of Black Cotton
Soil which has high clay content, low strength and minimal bearing capacity. The poor engineering performance of such soils has
forced Engineers device cost effective and ecofriendly methods for improving the engineering properties of poor soils. As the
conventional soil stabilizers like gravel, sand, etc. are depleting and becoming expensive day by day at a very rapid pace, it becomes
necessary to look towards for alternative ecofriendly stabilizers as their substitute. Recently many Bio-enzymes have emerged as cost
effective stabilizers for soil stabilization. One such bio-enzyme, Terrazyme, has been used in the present work to study its effect on the
Unconfined Compressive strength of the Black Cotton soil. It has been found that Terrazyme treated Black Cotton soil shows
significant increase in Unconfined Compressive strength with longer curing period.
Keywords: Bio-enzyme, Terrazyme, Soil Stabilization and Black Cotton Soil.

1. INTRODUCTION
A large part of central India and a portion of South India are
covered with Black Cotton soils. These soils are residual
deposits formed from basalt or trap rocks. Black cotton soils
are clays of high plasticity. They contain essentially the clay
mineral montmorillonite, which is the most unstable clay
mineral, thus the soils have high shrinkage and swelling
characteristics. The sharing strength of the soil is extremely
low, is highly compressible and has very low bearing capacity.
It is very difficult to work with this soil, as do not posses
sufficient strength to support the loads imposed upon them
either during construction or during the service life of the
structure. For better performance of structures built on such
soils, the performance characteristics of such soils need to be
improved. The poor engineering performance of such soils has
forced Engineers to attempt to improve the engineering
properties of poor quality soils. There are various methods that
could be used to improve the performance of poor quality
soils. These methods range from replacing it with a good
quality soil to methods that involve complex chemical process.
The choice of a particular method depends mainly on the type
of soil to be improved, its characteristics and the type and
degree of improvement desired in a particular application.
Recently bio-enzymes have emerged as a new chemical for
soil stabilization. Bio-enzymes are chemical, organic, and
liquid concentrated substances which are used to improve the
stability of soil sub-grade for pavement structures. Bio-
Enzyme is convenient to use, safe, effective and dramatically
improves road quality.
1.1 Terrazyme, a Bio-Enzymatic Soil Stabilizer
TerraZyme is a natural, non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-
inflammable liquid, produced by formulating vegetable
extracts. Organic enzymes come in liquid form. They are
perfectly soluble in water, brown in color with smell of
molasses. Their aroma has no effect. Neither gloves nor masks
are required during handling. TerraZyme is specially
formulated to modify the engineering properties of soil. They
require dilution in water before application. TerraZyme when
added to water and mixed with soil alters the engineering
properties depending upon the type of the soil and dosage of
enzyme. These enzymes are liquid additives, which act on the
soil to reduce the voids between soil particles and minimize
absorbed water in the soil for maximum compaction. The
enzymes react with the organic matter (humid matter) in the
soil to form cementatious material. This decreases the swelling
capacity of the soil particles and reduces permeability. The
application of TerraZyme enhances weather resistance and
increases load bearing capacity of soils. These features are
particularly evident in fine-grained soils such as clay in which
the formulation affects the swelling and shrinking behavior.
The reaction is at micron level and the presence of finely
divided humid matter and clay-sized particles is essential.
Presence of clay is essential as the bonds formed bind this size
of particles. The formulation has the ability to change the
matrix of the soil so that after compaction the soil loses its
ability to reabsorb water and the mechanical benefits of
compaction are not lost even after water is reapplied to the
compacted soil. Once the enzyme reacts with the soil, the
change is permanent and the product is bio-degradable.

1.2 Mechanism of Soil Stabilization by Bio-Enzyme
In clay water mixture positively charged ions (cat-ions) are
present around the clay particles, creating a film of water
around the clay particle that remains attached or adsorbed on
the clay surface. The adsorbed water or double layer gives
clay particles their plasticity. In some cases the clay can swell
and the size of double layer increases, but it can be reduced by
drying. Therefore, to truly improve the soil properties, it is
necessary to permanently reduce the thickness of double layer.
Cat-ion exchange processes can accomplish this. By utilizing
fermentation processes specific micro-organisms can produce
stabilizing enzyme in large quantity. These soil-stabilizing
enzymes catalyze the reactions between the clay and the
organic cat-ions and accelerate the cat-ionic exchange without
becoming part of the end product.
TerraZyme replaces adsorbed water with organic cations, thus
neutralizing the negative charge on a clay particle. The
organic cations also reduce the thickness of the electrical
double layer. This allows TerraZyme treated soils to be
compacted more tightly together.
TerraZyme resists being replaced by water, thus reducing the
tendency of some clay to swell.
TerraZyme promotes the development of cementatious
compounds using the following, general reaction:
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Lacuoture and Gonzalez (1995) conducted a comprehensive
study of the TerraZyme soil stabilizer product and its
effectiveness on sub-base and sub-grade soils. The reactions of
the soils treated with the enzyme was observed and recorded
and compared to the untreated control samples. The variation
in properties was observed over a short period only and it was
found that in cohesive soils there was no major variation in
properties during the early days but the soil showed improved
performance progressively. Bergmann (2000) concluded
through studies that Bio-Enzymes need some clay content to
strengthen the soils. It was observed that at least 2% clay is
needed for successful stabilization whereas 10 to 15% clay
gave very good results. Shukla et al. (2003) used Bio-Enzymes
to stabilize five different types of soil ranging from low clay
content to very high clay content, engineering properties and
strength characteristics were determined and it was found that
there is little to high improvement in physical properties. Little
improvement could be due to soil constituent, which has low
reactivity with Bio-Enzymes. There was improvement in CBR
and unconfined compression strength of soils like silty soil to
sandy soil. An increase of 65 to 252% in UCS value was
observed after 4 weeks of curing. Pavement design thickness
also reduces to 25 to 40 percent. Moreover, in case of scarcity
of granular material, only stabilized surface with thin
bituminous surfacing can fulfill the pavement design
requirement. Sharma (2006) has conducted laboratory studies
on use of bio-enzyme stabilization of three types of soils
namely clay of high plasticity (CH), clay of low plasticity
(CL) and silt of low plasticity (ML). It was found that the CH
soil had an increase in CBR value with reduction in saturation
moisture from 40 to 21% after 4 weeks of stabilization. Also it
was found that there was 100% increase in unconfined
compression strength. Shankar et al. (2009) studied the effect
of different dosages of Bio-Enzymes on Lateritic soil of
Dakshina Kannada (district of India), having liquid limit and

Plasticity Index more than 25% and 6% respectively. Tests
were conducted on lateritic soil by adding different
percentages of sand as well. They concluded that there is
medium improvement in physical properties of lateritic soil.
Therefore it was suggested that effect of Bio-Enzyme on soil
should be examined in laboratory before actual field
application. Higher dosage (200ml/2m3 of soil) produced
300% increase in CBR, 450% in unconfined compressive
strength and permeability was reduced by 42% after four
weeks of curing. It was also observed that enzyme is not
effective for cohesion less soil. Venkatasubramanian &
Dhinakaran (2011) conducted tests on three soils with varied
properties and different dosages of Bio-Enzyme. Three soils
had liquid limits of 28, 30 and 46% and plasticity index of 6, 5
and 6%. Increase in unconfined compressive strength after 4
weeks of curing was reported as 246 to 404%.
3. EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION
The materials used for the tests include the Black cotton soil
and TerraZyme (Bio-Enzyme). The Black cotton soil obtained
from the field was tested in the laboratory for Unconfined
Compressive Strength. The Unconfined Compressive Strength
was evaluated by stabilization with variable dosages of
enzyme (0.0, 0.25ml, 0.5ml, 0.75ml, 1.0ml, 2.0ml, 3.0ml, and
4.0ml/per 5kg of soil) for one and seven days of curing. The
specimen was prepared and kept in desecrator to retain
moisture of the sample so that reaction between soil particle
and TerraZyme may be continued. The test results have been
given in table 1.
Table -1: UCS values (kN/m2
) of soil treated with enzyme.
The percentage increase in UCS with the increase in dosage of
Terrazyme (from 0.25ml upto 4ml/5kg of soil) for curing
periods of one and seven days are shown in Figure 1 & Figure
2 respectively. The relative increase in UCS value from one to
seven day of curing is shown in figure 3.

Figure 1 & 2 clearly shows that the rate of increase of U.C.S.
drops significantly after 1ml, and from figure 3 it can be
observed that the relative rate of increase in the UCS value
from 1 to 7 days of curing is maximum at Terrazyme dosage
of 1ml. Thus keeping economic criteria (getting maximum
strength at minimum cost) in mind the optimum dosage of
Terrazyme for improving the UCS of Black Cotton soil is
about 1ml/5kg of soil.
4. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the tests conducted the following conclusions have
been drawn:-
Stabilization of the soil using Terrazyme resulted in
significant increase in the Unconfined Compressive
Strength of the Black Cotton Soil upto 200%.
Duration of treatment of soil with Terrazyme played a
vital role in improvement of strength and soil treated
with Terrazyme for 7 days gives higher strength.
The optimum dosage of Terrazyme for improvement
of UCS of Black Cotton soil is 1ml/per 5kg of soil.
This eco-friendly enzyme i.e. Terrazyme can be
effectively used to increase the Unconfined
Compressive Strength of the Black Cotton soil.
