摘要:According to Indian Standard Classification System of soils, the fine sand has nil cohesion and thus hasa very low compressive strength and high permeability. Fine sand is not readily suitable for construction ofembankments for roads which are supposed to bear heavy loads. This study discusses the possibility of fine sandstabilization using Sanitary Ware Waste as admixture. Present work has been taken up by addition of 4.75 mm sievepassed and 2.36 mm sieve retained Sanitary Ware Waste as admixture. The varying percentage 2%, 4%, 8% and 12%of sanitary ware waste were mixed with fine sand of different densities 1.50 gm/cc, 1.55 gm/cc and 1.58 gm/cc(M.D.D). All the Direct Shear Tests were conducted at different mix compositions of sanitary ware waste and fine sandof different dry densities as arrived from Standard Proctor Test. Falling-Head Permeability Tests were also performedon different mix compositions. On the basis of the experiments performed, it is determined that the stabilization of finesand using sanitary ware waste as admixture improves the strength characteristics of the fine sand so that it becomesusable as a suitable material for construction of embankments for roads.
