ABSTRACT A clayey soil collected at Barkindo along Lamurde-Adamawa road, Numan Local Government area of Adamawa State, Nigeria, was stabilized with 0, 2, 4 and 6% cement which was admixed with 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% ceramic waste dust (CWD) each.  Index properties test and microstructural tests were conducted on the untreated clay soil while compaction tests and unconfined compressive strength tests were carried out on the untreated clay ...

ABSTRACT The intrinsic suitability of some lateritic soils as materials for construction of layers for flexible pavements is evaluated herein. The pavement layers assessed were the base course, sub-base and sub-grade. Laboratory results of samples from these layers show that the CBR values of the sub-grade materials met the requirement while about 40% and 70% of the locations for sub-base and base materials respectively, presented CBR values less than those ...

CHAPTER ONE   1.0     INTRODUCTION The study of geotechnical properties of lateritic soil in Osun State is our main focus and objective, the lateritic soil materials that were investigated was taken in six different locations as follows: 1.   Ikirun to Osogbo road 2.   Ikirun to Iree road 3.   Ikirun to Ada road. The investigation helps to describe the sub-surface condition along the three locations and it provide ...
