Abstract
Sustainable soil improvement methods play a crucial role in enhancing soil health while ensuring environmental sustainability. Several innovative techniques and stabilizing agents contribute to the engineering properties of soil, making them ideal for road construction projects and other infrastructure developments. In the last few years, waste materials have been used for soil stabilization. Various waste materials, such as fly ash (FA), granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), rice husk ash (RHA), cement kiln dust (CKD), Quarry dust, demolished waste, etc. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of MSWIFA as a sustainable and environmentally friendly stabilizer for clayey soil. Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the impact of different proportions (10 %, 20 %, and 30%) of municipal solid waste (MSW) fly ash on the engineering properties of subgrade clayey soils. Results indicated that the inclusion of MSWIA significantly improved the soils behavior, with notable reductions in liquid limit (up to 37.66 %), plasticity index (up to 74.76 %), and Optimum moisture content These findings suggest that MSWIA can serve as sustainable alternatives to traditional soil stabilizers, offering both performance improvements and environmental benefits.
