Abstract

The improvement of unstable soil is thus called soil stabilization.The effect of use of waste material available in Amravati region such as wheat husk, Marble waste, coir fibers, iron oxide, etc. Wheat husk is one of the waste materials which can be used for expansive soil stabilization. It is a lignocelluloses waste product which is about 15–20 % of wheat and some extents of wheat husk uses as a scattle food. For better results it is necessary to treat wheat husk. It is treated with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Potassium Permanent (KMnO4) chemicals at different percentages. In order to improve the charateristics of expansive soil the treated wheat husk is used. In this experimental study,by experimenting wheat husk with various treatment such as NaOH and KMnO4 that improve the CBR values, reduce environmental hazards as well be very cost effective. Also the results obtained from the compaction properties and C.B.R. values between original soil sample and sample using treated waste material. Based on it, the conclusions will be made for effective, economical and ecofriendly method of soil stabilization.
