| Abstract | Structures in various regions of the world with expansive soils are affected by the poor engineering properties of these soils. The soil experiences swelling and shrinkage problems, and thus, the structure is encountered to get settled or uplifted. This has a significant impact on the infrastructure development of such regions. It has always been a difficult task for engineers to design and build civil engineering structures on such soils. For local earthwork construction, mechanically stabilized clays combined with sand are employed. Expansive soil can cause extremely high lateral pressures on the back of a retaining wall, and in this situation, expansive soils are often avoided despite their availability as they can seriously damage the retaining wall structures due to the lateral swelling pressure in addition to the earth pressures. In order to overcome the poor engineering properties of these soils, the reduction of swelling and shrinkage has been recommended. For this, the soil can be effectively modified and made suitable for use as backfill. Additionally, the lateral swelling pressure can also be determined experimentally; however, this has not been incorporated into the current study. This study is an attempt to implement comprehensive experimental research into the possibilities of employing solid waste to improve the engineering properties of clay with intermediate plasticity (CI). In this study, solid waste is used in different proportions with CI to determine its influence on swelling and shrinkage. The analysis shows that the replacement of CI with solid waste results in a significant reduction of swelling and shrinkage. The study envisages providing an optimized quantity of solid waste, which shows an improvement in swell-shrink characteristics. |
