Abstract
Loose soil is an expansive type of soil that undergoes sudden expansion and swelling upon contact with water. This property leads to poor strength and other unfavourable characteristics of the soil. The behavior of loose soil can be highly unpredictable when subjected to various types of stabilizers. Soil stabilization refers to a technique used to address, modify, or enhance the performance of soil. In this study, the effectiveness of limestone, fly ash, and rice husk ash (RHA) powder as beneficial additives for loose soil is evaluated. The analysis focuses on determining the strength properties of loose soil in its natural state and after being mixed with different proportions of limestone powder, fly ash, and RHA. To address the issues of swelling and shrinkage, the soil is replaced with a stabilizing agent comprising 10% of the dry weight. A comparison is made between the properties of 100% loose soil and the combination of various percentages of limestone powder, fly ash, and rice husk ash to assess the impact of the stabilizer on the soil. The results indicate a significant reduction in the swelling andshrinkage of the soil.
