Abstract
Results of this study have manifested that suitable mix is to use Fly Ash 20% of the dry weight of soil, Sodium hydroxide 5% and Sodium Chloride 2% of the total dry weight. The suitable water ratio is 15%-20% of the dry weight. And then the suitable soil mix proportion was developed. It was found that the soil mix proportion of Gravel 10-20% (sieve size 4.25â¯mmâ¯â¤â¯gravel⤠20â¯mm) range of (35%-45%), the Sand 70-80% (sieve size 0.425â¯mmâ¯â¤â¯sand â¤4.25â¯mm) proportion of (60%-70%) and Fine â¤10% (â¤sieve size 0.425â¯mm) content of 5% makes the best mix to develop. Scanning electron microscope images were taken to understand the geo polymerized fly ash bond result on the total strength of the soil mixture.
