- Abstract
- The use of eco-cement (GGBS) is well established in many cement applications. The use of eco-cement in expansive soil stabilization is a new process in the geotechnical field. This paper reports efforts to extend the use of GGBS to expansive soil stabilization by determining the beneficial effect it has on the reduction of expansion and improvement of mechanical properties. The paper describes the results of laboratory tests on expansive soil treated with 10% eco-cement (GGBS) and Portland cement. The tests determined the strength development of compacted cylinders at different curing periods. The results illustrated that 50% replacement of Portland cement with eco-cement improved the substantially their strength development.
