EVALUATION OF PALM KERNEL SHELL ASH AS AN ADDITIVE FOR THE STABILIZATION OF BLACK COTTON SOIL
📄 Project Abstract
Black cotton soil (BCS) obtained from Baure; Yamaltu Deba Local Government Area was treated with up to 12 % palm kernel shell ash (PKSA) by weight of dry soil to determine the suitability of the treated soil for use in road construction. Index tests were carried out to classify the natural soil, while the moisture-density relationships were determined by compaction tests on the natural and treated soils using three energy levels viz, British Standard light (BSL), West African Standard (WAS) and British Standard heavy (BSH). Black Cotton Soil used in the study was classified as A-7-5 (20) using the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and CH group in the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Tests results show that specific gravity of the soil increased from 2.29 for the natural to 2.34 at 12 % treatment. Liquid limit decreased from 76.2 % for natural to 73.4 % at 10 % PKSA content. Plastic limit increased from 40 % for the natural soil to 47....
