Mud flood as a suitable material for subgrade layer of low traffic volume

This paper describes a research carried out to identify the basic properties of mud flood soil and the efficiency of SH-85 stabilizer to improve the unconfined compressive strength of the soil. Based on the soil classification test conducted, mud flood soil can be classified as a fine grained soil a...

Civil engineering (General) This paper describes a research carried out to identify the basic properties of mud flood soil and the efficiency of SH-85 stabilizer to improve the unconfined compressive strength of the soil. Based on the soil classification test conducted, mud flood soil can be classified as a fine grained soil and grouped as sandy lean clay. Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test were carried out on untreated and treated soils sample with respect to different curing periods of 3 days, and 7 days.
