Effect of Compaction on Strength of Soil-Pozzlana Mixture

Abstract

Soil stabilization is the alteration of state of soil to acceptable engineering condition to improve its engineering performance. This is done by mechanical, chemical, thermal, and electrical methods(1). The main engineering properties of soil are strength, permeability, and consolidation. Several previous works were made to investigate the effect of compaction on strength of soil-cement mixture, soil-lime mixture, soil fly ash mixture,….etc. In this paper, the effect of two methods of compaction (impact and static) on unconfined compressive strength of soil-pozzlana mixture was investigated.
