Stabilization of Laterite Soil using Marble Dust and Fly Ash and Manufacturing of Bricks

Soil is the material formed by the disintegration of rocks on which buildings and other structures can be built. According to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research soils are classified into 8 main categories. They are, • Alluvial soil • Red soil • Laterite soil • Black cotton soil • Mountainous or Forest soils • Arid or Desert soils • Saline or Alkaline soils • Peaty or Marshy soils In today's climatic changes, lack of stable ground for the development of infrastructures is very common. In fact, of this, the construction of buildings and roads on unsuitable ground is unavoidable and making suitable ground before construction is a really difficult issue for Geotechnical Engineers. To overcome the difficulties experienced with problematic soil in geotechnical applications on one side and safe disposal of solid wastes on the other side, an attempt is made in this investigation to explore the possibilities of utilizing wastes to improve the engineering behavior of problematic soil. So, in this investigation, I chose a lateritic soil because this soil is good for low-raised buildings but not suitable for high-raised buildings and not suitable for heavily loaded vehicles moving on Pavement. Laterite soil is rich in aluminum and iron, formed in wet and hot tropical areas. Almost all laterites are rusty red due to the presence of0iron oxides. It is prepared by the long-lasting and where laterite, soil and rock type. Over 13 million hectares, the laterite soil is typically found in high altitude and rainy regions of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Orissa, Assam, and Meghalaya. In most cases, they develop warm, humid climates.
