Abstract

In subgrade, bases, subbases and unpaved roads, on many occasions the local soils do not meet the necessary quality requirements and materials from more distant places must be used for their construction. An alternative to this problem is to resort to techniques such as soil stabilization with additives of other materials or soils. Among the alternatives for stabilization with additives are cane bagasse ash and blast furnace slag obtained from steel foundries. This research objective is to evaluate the properties of soil stabilized with blast furnace slag and cane bagasse ashes. The slag is added in 25 and 35% values and the ash in 10 and 30%, combinations results of are compared with the properties of the unstabilized soil material. The results show that the use of ash in soil stabilization is not beneficial to increase the bearing capacity of the soil and makes it vulnerable to permeability, while the slag is beneficial by increasing the values of maximum dry specific weight of CBR. and providing greater stability against capillary ascension.
