SOIL STABILIZATION WITH LIME AND SAWDUST AND ITS NUMERICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

Due to population growth and rapid industrialization, requirement for new construction sites and transportation routes is increasing worldwide every day. The use of waste materials in different engineering applications not only contributes to the economy of the country but also becomes a determinant in reducing the effects of environmental pollution. In this study, the suitability of the use of easily obtainable lime and sawdust is discussed for soil stabilization. In the laboratory research phase, the effects of the use of sawdust and lime were investigated on soil bearing capacity problems. Artificial neural network and regression analysis were carried out on the test results. As the conclusion of the study, it is suggested that the use of lime and sawdust is a low-cost and easy-to find alternative additives in soil stabilization. The study also highlights the environmental advantages of utilizing biodegradable and non-toxic materials in soil improvement techniques. Furthermore, the combination of mechanical testing and predictive modeling strengthens the reliability of the findings, offering a scientific basis for practical implementation.
