Abstract
This paper presents the results of an experimental study for stabilizing expansive soil to determine its bearing capacity and mechanical properties via a triaxial test of the addition of biomass bottom ash. A double objective was targeted: reduction of the problems in using this type of soil and provision of a use for this type of waste. The results showed significant improvements in the mechanical. Therefore, herein is proposed the use of biomass bottom ash as a stabilizing agent for expansive soils, to improve the efficiency of the construction process by incorporating this product into a second life cycle as road bases.
