Micro fine cement grout possesses high strength, durability, better flow properties and bleed characteristics than Ordinary Portland cement. Portland-based micro fine cement is used, which helps in improving the stiffness of paving materials, particularly those which include silt or clayey soils in the subgrade or base layer. Micro fine cement is blast furnace slag-based cement and Portland-based cement intended for grouting applications. In this study, subgrade soil is considered as clay soil, coconut fibers and micro fine cement are used to stabilize it.
Mechanical and chemical stabilization methods are mostly useful for the stabilization of subgrade soils.
Sometimes, the available soil may not satisfy the desired standards, therefore, it is required to improve the soil properties through various methods. Good quality of subgrade soil is required to maintain the standards in the field of highway construction. The contents of this book are of interest to researchers and practicing engineers alike. The book presents papers on geotechnical applications and case histories, covering topics such as (i) Characterization of Geomaterials and Physical Modelling (ii) Foundations and Deep Excavations (iii) Soil Stabilization and Ground Improvement (iv) Geoenvironmental Engineering and Waste Material Utilization (v) Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (vi) Earth Retaining Structures, Dams and Embankments (vii) Slope Stability and Landslides (viii) Transportation Geotechnics (ix) Geosynthetics Applications (x) Computational, Analytical and Numerical Modelling (xi) Rock Engineering, Tunnelling and Underground Constructions (xii) Forensic Geotechnical Engineering and Case Studies and (xiii) Others Topics: Behaviour of Unsaturated Soils, Offshore and Marine Geotechnics, Remote Sensing and GIS, Field Investigations, Instrumentation and Monitoring, Retrofitting of Geotechnical Structures, Reliability in Geotechnical Engineering, Geotechnical Education, Codes and Standards, and other relevant topics. The conference brings together research and case histories on various aspects of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering. This book comprises select proceedings of the annual conference of the Indian Geotechnical Society.
