Stabilization of Expansive Soil with Brick Dust and Lime

Mehr zum Buch

Expansive soil in India poses significant challenges for civil engineering due to its tendency to swell and shrink with moisture changes, leading to structural failures. To address this issue, various soil stabilization methods—chemical, mechanical, biological, or combined—are explored to enhance soil strength. The book highlights the importance of brick as a construction material and discusses the potential use of brick dust, a byproduct from brick kilns, as a sustainable stabilizing agent, promoting recycling and reducing waste in construction practices.
