Introduction
Soil Improvement
• To increase bearing capacity and stability (avoid failure )
• To reduce post construction settlements
• To reduce liquefaction risk (seismic areas)
Before soil improvement:
• Check for suitability or feasibility of using different types of
foundation (pile / raft)
• Soil replacement
• Expensive
• Different Methods:
• Soil stabilization
• Dynamic compaction and replacement
• Vertical drains
• Vibroflottation
• Stone columns
• Inclusions
Soil Improvement Techniques
Impact of Present Study in Bangladesh
• Seismic zone
• Filled zones are susceptible to liquefaction
• Factor of safety against liquefaction is more, if filled
material contains fine materials
• Soil stabilization would be a possible method for
minimizing the probability of liquefaction during
earthquake loading.
Soil Stabilization
Bell (1993):
• Soil stabilization is the process of mixing additives with soil to
improve
• volume stability
• strength
• permeability and
• durability
Objective of this study
• To study the effect of additives (lime and cement) on
soil properties, in terms of the following parameters:
• Atterberg limits
• Maximum dry density
• Optimum moisture content
Literature Review
• Review the literature on soil stabilization using different additives
• Lime Stabilization
• Plasticity reduction
• Reduction in moisture-holding capacity (drying)
• Swell reduction
• Improved stability
• Cement Stabilization
• It is widely available
• Cost is relatively low
• It is highly durable
• Soil cement is quite weather resistant and strong.
• Flyash Stabilization
• Strength - to increase the strength and bearing capacity.
• Volume stability - to control the swell-shrink characteristics caused by
moisture changes.
• Durability - to increase the resistance to erosion, weathering or traffic
loading.
• To reduce the pavement thickness as well as cost.
• Blast Furnace Slug
• strength - to increase the strength and bearing capacity.
• volume stability - to control the swell-shrink characteristics caused by
moisture changes.
• durability - to increase the resistance to erosion, weathering or traffic
loading.

 It was found that Liquid limit also are same for lime content but plastic limit
varied with increasing % of lime content for Dhaka clay [Soil A] but the liquid
limit change with increasing % of cement both Dhaka clay [Soil A] and River
sand [Soil B].
 It was found that Maximum Dry Density (MDD) decreased with the
increase in % of lime content for Dhaka Clay but MDD increased with
increasing % of cement content both Dhaka Clay and River Sand
 Optimum Moisture Content decreased with increasing ( 0-6) % of cement
content but it increased for 8% of cement content
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
 OMC increased linearly with increasing % of lime content
 It was also found that liquid limit also same graphically between
previous study and our study for lime content but liquid limit(LL)
varied for cement content.
 Maximum dry density (MDD) almost remained same between
our study and previous study
 Optimum moisture content (OMC) vary previous study than our
study for both lime and cement content.

     It wasfound that Liquid limit also are same for lime content but plastic limit varied with increasing % of lime content for Dhaka clay [Soil A] but the liquid limit change with increasing % of cement both Dhaka clay [Soil A] and River sand [Soil B].  It was found that Maximum Dry Density (MDD) decreased with the increase in % of lime content for Dhaka Clay but MDD increased with increasing % of cement content both Dhaka Clay and River Sand  Optimum Moisture Content decreased with increasing ( 0-6) % of cement content but it increased for 8% of cement content CONCLUSION

    CONCLUSION  OMC increasedlinearly with increasing % of lime content  It was also found that liquid limit also same graphically between previous study and our study for lime content but liquid limit(LL) varied for cement content.  Maximum dry density (MDD) almost remained same between our study and previous study  Optimum moisture content (OMC) vary previous study than our study for both lime and cement content.
