Abstract:Stabilization is broadly classified as mechanical and chemical stabilization. Lime stabilization is the most commonly adopted method for stabilising expansive soils. In recent years, lime has been combined with other waste materials for improved performance in stabilization. One such waste is egg shell waste, generated by the poultry industry. Calcination of egg shell waste results in the formation of egg shell ash (ESA) which has a chemical composition very similar to that of quick lime. This investigation fo… Show more
