like natural soils, sand, morrum etc., are proved to be costly in terms of construction as well as maintenance. Performance of Flexible Pavement depends on the functions of the component layers especially Sub-grade. Sub-grade is compacted layer of soil, provides the lateral support to the pavement. Construction over soft Sub-grade affects the performance of pavement and results in shorter life of pavement. The typical approach of stabilization of soft Sub-grade is to remove the soft soil, and replace

STABILIZATION OF EXPANSIVE SOIL: AN ADDITIVE AGAINST CONVENTION E.Dhivya Bharathi M.Sakthi Muthu A.Santha Kumar S.Praveen ABSTRACT-Numerous man-made structures around the world have been subjected to considerable damage due to differential heave from moisture observed by expensive clay soils. Soft soils often cause difficulties in construction, operation with their low strength and low stiffness nature. However, the engineering properties of these soils can be enhanced by soil stabilization. Stabilization
voids will eventually be filled with soil, silt and vegetations which will reinforce the structure and give extra strength. The strong base provides strength to the gabions to prevent it from being drag away by a river or stream. Gabions can be purchased in various sizes to suit the height and width of sloop required. Depending on the availability of material and equipment, handling and transporting of material is easy and thus reduce the time of construction. Voids can be easily seen between
In recent times the scope of Civil Engineering is widened and many new areas has come up which includes Infrastructure Development, Polymer Construction Materials, Non-destructive Testing, Project Management, Composite Construction, Aqua Structures, Protective structures, Rehabilitation of structures, Space Structures, Smart Materials and many others. All of these areas of Civil Engineering are related with day to day work of Engineers
2.2 Causes of land use changes Land use change is usually a result of many combined factors arising from different phases of organisation. The combined causes of land use change differ with time, space and environment(Lambin et al., 2003). There are direct causes of land use change which includes population growth, economic growth and initiation of policy, laws ad legislations (Morara et al., 2014). 2.2.1Population growth Population growth has been the fundamental driver of land use change all
improve the engineering properties of soil like lime or cement. fly ash properties are highly variable and depend on chemical composition of coal and combustion technology Bitumen is a by-product that remains after distillation or evaporation of crude petroleum. Tar is the result of destructive distillation of coal and other
Construction of the stadium which will be developed in an area enclosed by 2.471054 acres. In this stage, there is a court which can be used a host of such use in play indoor futsal, badminton, volleyball and handball. This activity had a positive impact on
Pre-18th century Britain was marked by its dependence on the agrarian system and the exercise of despotism. At the turn of the century, the quest for improvement in economics, politics and ideologies led Britain in what became one of the greatest feats in history – the Industrial Revolution. A transformative albeit slow progression, the Industrial Revolution was driven by the prolific changes that occurred at a global scale. Great Britain reached its apex as the voyages and conquests to the New
This article aims to introduce the concept and significance of Triple Bottom Line (TBL) with relationship to Sustainable Development Principle (SD) and Sustainable Construction (SC). Construction industry is one of the biggest industries in the world which needs a lot of attention to monitor and achieve the goals for a sustainable environment. In this report a case study has also been included which will be examined based on Global Report Initiatives (GRI). Introduction Sustainability
