A Laboratory Performance on the Affect of Saw Dust on the Properties of Marine Clay

Abstract

When it comes to the growth of the Indian economy, the highways of India are the arteries
that provide the gasoline. India is a stunning country that has a coastline that stretches for a total of
7516.6 kilometers. The significant bulk of this coastal region is comprised of clay deposits that may be
found in the water. When it comes to the construction of roads, it will be more cost-effective to make
use of materials and soils that are easily available in the surrounding region. The use of marine clay,
which is easily accessible in the region, as a subgrade in coastal locations would not provide the
required results due to the poor engineering properties of marine clay. On the other hand, marine clay
is readily available in the region. Because doing so would lead to an increase in the total cost of the
project, it is not feasible from a financial standpoint to replace the soil during the project. In situations
such as these, one of the possible options that may be considered is to stabilize the soil that is currently
there. A chemical that is quite easy to get is lime, and sawdust is a waste product that is generated by
the wood and timber industry. Lime is a chemical that is widely available. Here is a presentation that
presents the findings of an inquiry into the use of the components indicated above for the aim of
stabilizing marine clay.
