Abstract:
Engineers often face problem in constructing road bed on weak subgrade soil. These soils can be strengthened by adding various types of materials, by compacting them into required CBR value as per highway requirements. Some natural resources such as gravel are not renewable, therefore, it is necessary to reduce the use of such resources and replace them with other economic, and environmentally friendly materials. The present study focused on using crushed concrete in improvement the chemical and geotechnical properties of soft soil having undrained shear strength of 6.78 kPa. The soft soil samples were mixed with 5, 10, and 15% of crushed concrete. Such aggregates are lighter than natural aggregates and provide a good deformation modulus when mixed with soil. In Iraq, there are hundred thousand tons of concrete blocks used as fences and now considered wastes after removing these security fences, so it’s important to interest from recycling of such materials to be used in the improvement wide region of soft soils in Iraq. The results of tests showed increasing the undrained shear strength of soft soil by 175-193.5% and reduced the compressibility of soft by 25-31% measured in terms of compression index. The aim of this study was to gather data to quantify the benefit of the use of geotextiles on secondary routes. A small-scale study in the laboratory was performed to try to develop a simple method for rapidly assessing the possible benefit under a wide range of conditions. A field study is also underway to provide calibration of laboratory results and experience under full-scale, real-world conditions. The field study is configured so as not to accelerate pavement deterioration intentionally or otherwise attempt to modify the structure of the subject pavements.
