Title

Utilization of Copper Slag for Improvement of Sub-soil in Pavement Construction Works

Abstract

Many methods have been used to improve weak subsoil conditions encountered in Road construction works. As a solution, engineers tend to try on mixing materials that can be used with existing soil type without completely removing and refilling with another soil type. Expansive clays are a worldwide problem that poses several challenges for Civil Engineers. They are considered a potential natural hazard, which can cause extensive damage to structures if not adequately treated. The disadvantages of clay can be overcome by stabilizing with suitable material. This research was done on the engineering behavior of clay when stabilized with copper slag. In this study, copper slag (CS) with different proportions varying from 45% to 65% was used at optimum moisture content (OMC) with clay soil to investigate the relative strength gain in terms of Unconfined compression strength (UCS) and California bearing ratio (CBR), after curing for 3, 7, 14 and 21 days. Number of tests was carried out to assess the improvement in engineering characteristics of the samples. It was found that copper slag when mixed with the clayey soil results in improvement of strength and CBR value with the increase in percentage of CS which considered as the required characteristics for road construction.

Key Words
