THE INFLUENCE OF NATURAL OKRA-BANANA GEOTEXTILE ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF ROAD SUBBASE BEARING CAPACITY
No full textUndergraduate thesesLow bearing capacity is one of the common problems for soils, especially on-the-road soils
in the Philippines. Geotextiles are made to enhance the soil's characteristics. Geosynthetics
are geotextiles made of synthetic fibers and are widely available in the market, but because
of environmental sustainability issues, natural geotextiles were developed over the years.
The study is focused on determining the application of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) and
Banana (Musa acuminata) natural geotextile in enhancing the California Bearing Ratio
(CBR) of subbase soil. The test includes a soil compaction test, a tensile test for the
geotextile, and a CBR test for the subbase soil mixed with geotextile. The geotextile was
created and cut into strips using the methods of the previous studies. The subbase soil was
collected based on the DPWH specifications. The samples tested for CBR include 0%, 1%,
2%, and 3% of geotextile strips mixed with the subbase soil. The result shows that the CBR
value increases as the geotextile strip percentage increases. Therefore, the sub-base soil has
the best bearing capacity with the 3% Okra-Banana geotextile strips added and has a
significant difference compared to the control sampl

No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Civil EngineeringCivil engineering infrastructure needs to be maintained, repaired, and demolished on a
regular basis. This causes significant garbage accumulations, additional costs, and
environmental problems. Thus, it is an effective approach to use agricultural waste like
bamboo leaf ash (BLA) and recycled aggregates (RCA), a construction waste, to alter the
use of natural resources that create a risk to the environment. This study is intended to show the lab analysis result of physical properties of RCA, and slump test. In addition, this research also aims to evaluate and compare the compressive strength of the conventional sample, a concrete mix containing 100% Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA), the 10% Bamboo Leaf Ash (BLA) concrete sample mix, and the sample mix having both 100% RCA and 10% BLA; cured in both fresh water and marine water for 7, 14 and 28 days. This paper describes the procedure for gathering the materials and producing the cylindrical samples with different control of mixtures. The researchers also discussed the influence and workability of the RCA and BLA after being cured in freshwater and saltwater. A total of 240 samples were created and analyzed in this study. Hence, after comparing the results, a mixture with 10% BLA has the best compressive strength among all other mixes due to the presence of high silica of BLA and the influence of calcium chloride from seawater after being cured for 28 days. RCA can be utilized in construction projects with the proper size of the aggregates and water-cement ratio
