1. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE MADE FROM VARIOUS AGGREGATE
EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
Characteristics of soil-cement blocks using highly sandy laterite mixtures were examined. The compressive, flexural and direct tensile strength of soil-cement blocks are directly proportional to the concrete aggregates, while the IRA is inversely...
2. UTILIZATION OF STEEL SLAG FOR STABILIZATION OF A LATERITIC SOIL
ABSTRACT
A lateritic soil classified as sandy clay or (CL) and A-7-6 (5) according to Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and AASHTO classification system respectively, was treated with up to 10% pulverized steel slag (an industrial waste pr...
3. EFFECT OF GROUNDNUT SHELL ASH ON SOIL STABILIZATION
ABSTRACT
As the topic of this research project implies (Effect of groundnut shell ash on lateritic soil properties) and which aim and objective are to shed light on Engineering Properties of Laterite Soil which is extensively used as a construction materials in Civi...
4. BITUMINOUS STABILIZATION OF LATERITE MODIFIED WITH LIME FOR USE AS PAVEMENT MATERIALS
Excerpt from the Study
In an effort to improve the suitability of lateritic soil as a pavement material, the air dried samples were treated with Lime/Bitumen in stepped concentration of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 % by dry weight of the soil. The preliminary investigation conduct...
5. COMPARING THE STRENGTH AS BLOCKS MADE FROM CEMENT AND LATERITIC SOIL, CEMENT AND RED EARTH, LATERITE, SAND AND RED EARTH
ABSTRACT
This case study is “comparing the strength of blocks made from: cement stabilized laterite blocks, cement stabilized red earth blocks and sand, red earth and lateri...
6. IMPROVEMENT OF BEARING CAPACITY OF LATERITIC SOIL FOR PAVEMENT SUBGRADE BY ADDITION OF ROCK FLOUR
ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the improvement of bearing capacity of lateritic soil for pavement subgrade by addition of rock flour stabilized with 0 - 12% rock flour by dry weight of soil at incremental rate of 3% and compacted using British Standard Light (BSL), West Africa Standard (...
7. EVALUATION OF INSITUTE GEOTECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF ROAD PAVEMENT LAYERS MATERIAL: A CASE STUDY OF MINNA–BIDA ROAD
ABSTRACT
The intrinsic suitability of some lateritic soils as materials for construction of layers for flexible pavements is evaluated herein. The pavement layers assessed were the base course, sub-base and sub-grade. Laboratory results of samples from these layers show that the CBR val...
8. EFFECT OF QUARRY DUST ON THE ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF LATERITIC SOILS
ABSTRACT
This study was intended to examine effect of quarry dust on the engineering properties of lateritic soils. This study was guided by the following objectives; to investigate the natural engineering properties of lateritic soil samples, to study the effort of the...
