Abstract:
Using alternative materials, which have better engineering quality than traditional materials and are more cost-effective, has received a lot of attention recently. One of the most crucial components in many building projects, such as earth canals and earth dams, is soil. The fact that soil might offer all the resistant qualities required for a project highlights the value of several techniques used to enhance soil quality. The vast majority of construction projects employ clay soil. Because clay soils, especially soft clay soils, have good plastic qualities, their shear strength, compressive strength, and volume changes decrease as moisture content rises. Structures generally suffer permanent harm as a result of these issues, which emphasizes how crucial soil improvement is.
