Effects Of Guinea Corn Husk Ash And Lime Mixtures On Lateritic Soil For Highway Construction
No full textThis
study investigates the effects
of guinea corn husk ash and lime mixtures on
lateritic soil for highway construction. Preliminary
tests were carried out on the soil for the purposes
of identification and classification. The guinea
corn husk ash was added t
o the soil sample at
varying proportions of 2, 3 and 4
percentages
by
weight of soil and the lime was added to the soil
sample at varying proportions of 4, 6 and 8
percentages
by weight of soil. Each of these
mixes was subjected to engineering tests;
compa
ction, California bearing ratio (CBR) and
unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test. The
results of these tests showed that GCHA and lime
improved the soil properties. It can be concluded
that the guinea corn husk ash and lime modified
the poor soil sampl
e into being suitable for
subbase to reduce failures in highway pavement
