Effect of pond ash on volumetric changes of expansive soils

Expansive soils are highly problematic by virtue of their innate capacity to undergo volumetric changes such as swelling ans shrinkage based on changes in water content. As a result lightly loaded civil engineering infrastructure founded in these soils get severely distressed. Chemical stabilisation is one the many innovative foundation practices suggested for reducing the above-mentioned volumetric changes. This book is on stabilisation of a remoulded expansive soil with pond ash. Swelling and compressibility characteristics were studied at varied amounts of pond ash.
