Title

IMPACT OF THE ADDITION OF PALM KERNEL SHELL ASH CONTENT ON THE STRENGTH AND COMPACTION CHARACTERISTICS OF BLACK COTTON SOIL

Abstract

Black cotton soil is a very problematic soil in nature, so it is necessary to stabilize it before the start of any construction work. Specifically, where the work is in village road construction and the availability of funds is less, in such a case we required a low-cost soil stabilization method. Palm kernel shell ash is basically waste material and is available at a low cost. The palm kernel shell is the outer shell fraction that is left after the extraction of palm oil in mills. This palm kernel shell has a good calorific value of around 4200 Kcal/Kg, so it is used in boilers instead of coal. After the burning of the palm kernel shell, the ash is formed which is called palm kernel shell ash (PKSA). The PKSA is waste material, and it is dumped into nearby municipal sites. It will create a problem of pollution in the environment. Instead of that, we can utilize it as a soil stabilizer. The PKSA is a pozzolanic material, it contains free lime which will react chemically with alumina and silica and form a gel that will create a bond between soil particles and increase the strength of the soil. It contains free lime which will react chemically with the alumina and silica present in the black cotton soil. The chemical reaction will take place between Ca(OH)_2 and SiO_2,Al_2 O_3 which ultimately results in C-S-H (calcium silicate hydrate), C-A-H (calcium alumina hydrate) and C-A-S-H(calcium alumino silicate hydrates) gel which binds all soil grains and increases the soil strength. In this research work, the 0, 3, 6 and 9% PKSA is added to the soil for stabilization. The standard proctor test and UCS test were performed on black cotton soil. The MDD value of soil was 1686 Kg/m^3 which is reduced to 1541.85 Kg/m^3 with the addition of 9% PKSA, and the OMC value of soil was 18.5% which was increased to 21.99% with the addition of 9% PKSA. The UCS value of soil was initially 394.33 KPa which is increased to 1022.23 KPa with the addition of 9% PKSA and after a curing period of 21 days.
