Abstract

Quarry dust is a type of solid waste material obtained from aggregate crushing industries. Disposal of such waste materials creates a lot of problems to the environment and public. To utilize the quarry dust in order to lessen the burden on environment and health, an experimental study was conducted on locally available soil by mixing it with quarry dust. This paper presents the variation of index and engineering properties of clayey soil, such as liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index, compaction characteristics, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), and Cohesion and Angle of Internal Friction when it is mixed with different percentages of quarry dust.

Keywords
