Abstract:
The coastal area of Karnataka has a hard crust on the top; these top layers of the laterite formations are highly porous but hard and strong. In between this top low level laterites and bottom high level laterites some of the beds are having size distribution between Jedi (clay) and Godi (silt) soils, but do not show the behavior of the clay nor silt. These soils dissolve and flow like water when water gushes through this layer during monsoon and many times washes off the fine soil, creates cavities and at time causes heavy settlement and sliding of the top layers after the application of load. This bed soil is termed as Lithomargic Shedi soil. The strength property of Shedi soil depends on density and compactive effort. Further the strength of weak soils can be altered by the addition of admixture. The widespread availability of fly ash has promoted its use to stabilize soils. Soils which are highly susceptible to erosion, on mixing with fly ash and curing for a sufficient period of time not only become resistant to erosion but also gain the strength. However, strength depends mainly on its reactive silica and lime content. This paper includes the evaluation of shedi soil properties like Optimum moisture content, dry density, and strength parameter (Unconfined compressive strength). Different quantities of Polypropylene fibre (percent by weight) are added to the flyash treated shedi soil and the experiments conducted on these soil mixes. The result shows that the use of Polypropylene fibre and Fly ash increases the Unconfined compressive strength values.
