| description | Marble dust and fly ash are waste materials and used in various area and industries as an additive material. However, there are still significant amounts of marble dust and fly ash left as waste. Therefore, the reuse of these wastes provides benefits to reduce construction costs and increase sustainability. In this study, a laboratory testing program was conducted on granular soil specimens amended with marble dust and fly ash. The specimens were prepared with granular soil and marble dust-fly ash at different mixing ratios. They were compacted with standard and modified Proctor energies. The specimens were subjected to unconfined compression, California bearing ratio, and freezing-thawing tests. The results of the study show that the strength of a specimen is dependent on the additive ratio, the curing period, compaction energy, and the number of freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles. Generally, unconfined compressive strength (qu) and California bearing ratio (CBR) increased with additive materials, curing times, and high compaction energy. qu decreased and weight loss increased with increasing additives and increasing F-T cycles. |
