This document summarizes a seminar presentation on soil stabilization using lime and cement. It discusses the chemistry and processes involved in soil-cement and soil-lime stabilization. It provides details on factors that affect the strength of stabilized soil matrices like soil type, moisture content, and curing time. A case study is presented on a road base rehabilitation project in Malaysia where granular soil was stabilized using cement. Test results showed increases in compressive strength and stiffness over 28 days of curing. Empirical relationships were developed between strength, stiffness and deflection test measurements.
Overview of Soil Stabilization :Cement / Lime :PPTAniket Pateriya
Soil-cement is frequently used as a construction material for pipe bedding, slope protection, and road construction as a sub-base layer reinforcing and protecting the subgrade. It has good compressive and shear strength, but is brittle and has low tensile strength, so it is prone to forming cracks.
Lime can be used to treat soils to varying degrees, depending upon the objective. The least amount of treatment is used to dry and temporarily modify soils. Such treatment produces a working platform for construction or temporary roads. A greater degree of treatment supported by testing, design, and proper construction techniques--produces permanent structural stabilization of soils.

but the problems Arises in structure as load age, increaseof floors which demands increase of high strength concrete
and more steel. So, especially at the beams, columns joints heavy reinforcement meshing is done so that it becomes If
the concrete is not compacted then strength may not be achieved, so the solution for the problem is SCC which we call
it asself-compacting concrete. Were this SCC has ability to compact by itself Gravity and self-flow ability same strength

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Stabilization of soil using lime
4. Soil-Cement stabilization:
• Laboratory tests
• Construction method :
Pulverising the soil
Shaping the sub grade and scarifying the soil
Adding and mixing cement
Adding the mixing water
Compacting
Finishing
Curing
Adding wearing surfacing
5. • Cement stabilizes soil in two ways,
Reduces soil plasticity (In Soil having high amount of clay in general).
Cementation
• The strength of soil-cement increases with age
6. Importance factor affecting strength of soil-cement matrix are
as follow:
Nature of soil: Effective when clay soil LL is less than 45% and PI is less than about 25%.
Cement content range: Granular soil (3 to 10%) and clay soil (7 to 16%).
Moisture content of new matrix: Same as OMC for achieve maximum dry density.
Maximum strength is achieved at moisture content slightly less than this.
Admixtures: Either to reduce cement content or in order to make soil suitable for stability,
Etc.
7. Advantages:
• Stiffness: Distribute loads over a wider area and rutting is relatively simple and less
expensive to correct.
• Great Strength: Reserve strength also resists cyclic cold, rain and spring-thaw damage.
• Superior Performance: Good service at low maintenance costs
• Reduces the occurrence of fatigue cracking.
• It is designed material whose properties and production can be very carefully tested and
controlled.
• It is durable material
• Due to fractural strength it offend classified as semi-rigid material.
8. Disadvantages:
Cement is costly material.
As cement hydrated volumetric change may take place give shrinkage crack.
9. Soil-Lime stabilization:
• Fine-grained clay soils (with a minimum of 25 percent passing the #200 sieve (75μm)
and a Plasticity Index greater than 10) are considered to be good candidates for
stabilization.
• Subgrade stabilization requires adding 3 to 6 % lime by weight of the dry soil.
10. The Chemistry of Lime Treatment:
Drying:
• Chemical reaction
• Subsequent reactions reduce the soil’s moisture holding capacity.
Modification:
• Flocculation and agglomeration“,
• Lime content of 3 to 18% by volume are used to reduce plasticity of clay.
Pozzolanic or cementation reaction: Stable calcium silicate and aluminates
form
Carbonation:
• Lime react with carbon dioxide and form calcium carbonate it increases
the
11. Importance FactorAffecting Strength of Soil-lime Matrix :
• Compaction Characteristic:
The maximum density decreases with curing time and lime content.
The optimum moisture content, Increase with curing time and lime content.
• Plasticity and workability:
Plasticity index decreases and shrinkage limit increases.
Soil with high plastic index initially required high lime content.
• Volume change: significant reduction in swell potential and swell pressure occur.
• Strength:
Lime increase the
Minor changes in angle of internal friction.
12. Advantages:
Lime stabilization improved the strength, stiffness and durability of fine-grained soil,
Effective in heavy clay soils.
When use in clay, lower the LL and PI of soil.
It produces maximum density under higher optimum moisture content then in untreated soil.
Lime stabilization also use for highly unstable plastic and swelling clay.
Disadvantages:
This mainly suitable for clayey coil, Soil contain more than 2% organic content may not
suitable.
13. Case Study :

Where, E is the back-calculated stiffness modulus (MPa)
21. Conclusions of case study
• A pavement section of 100m in length on the Southbound Carriageway of the North-
South Expressway (West Malaysia) has been rehabilitated by strengthening the
existing granular road base using cement stabilization.
• The deflections were observed to decrease between 3 and 7 days due to curing of the
CTB base. The use of cement stabilized base leads to a significant improvement in the
structural capacity of the pavement.
• An empirical relationship between the in situ compressive strength and the deflection
of the CTB layer has been proposed.
• An empirical relationship between the stiffness modulus and the in-situ compressive
strength of the CTB.
• FWD test also used to demonstrate that the required compressive strength and stiffness
modulus of the CTB had been achieved on site
• These two engineering relationships and actual FED results can be useful for the
monitoring the performance of the CTB layer when stabilization is in progress for
actual work.
• The expected design life, based on the actual in-situ properties of the pavement, could
be determined in greater confidence.
