Background of the Study
Soil stabilization increase Soil Engineering performance, Compressibility,
Permeability, and Elimination of weak soils.
Lime and Building Renovation Waste (Bricks, Plaster, Tiles etc.) are the
most well-known stabilizing agents that have been tested by several
researchers.
In this test, the soil was combined with different agents, such as Lime and
Building Renovation Waste, in different percentages 5%, 10%, and 15%
accordingly used as to improve the soil strength.
Objective of the Study
To find out the geotechnical properties for the soil samples

by different types of test (Grain moisture, Grain size
analysis test, Specific gravity test and Atterberg limit test).
To determine the unconfined compressive strength of the

soil samples mixed with different proportions of Lime and
Building Renovation Waste.
Methodology
Soil Collection
Soil is collected from a under
construction site at Sector 7, Uttara,
Dhaka.

percentages of lime and building renovation waste.
From atterberg limit test for natural soil we get liquid limit, plastic limit
and plasticity index that are 29%, 19% and 10% respectively. Which was
indicates that plasticity clayey soil is higher according to unified soil
classification system.
The compressive strength for the collected natural soil is 179 kPa obtained
from the unconfined compression test. On the other hand, the compressive
strength of Lime mixed with collected natural soil at 5%, 10% and 15%
were found to be 206 kPa, 219 kPa and 235 kPa. Similarly, the compressive
Conclusion strength of Building Renovation Waste mixed with collected natural soil at
5%, 10% and 15% were fund to be 189 Kpa, 198 Kpa, and 215 kpa
respectively.
Finally it was observed that specimens prepared with Lime and Building
Renovation Waste mixed at 5% and 10% with reclaimed soil gave higher
compressive strength than natural soil. A sample of natural soil mixed with
Lime gives relatively high and maximum compressive strength than
Building Renovation Waste.
Recommendations
Further exploration of long-term durability: Future research should focus on the long-term performance and
environmental impact of soil stabilized with lime and building renovation waste materials, assessing factors such
as resistance to weathering, shrinkage, and cracking over extended periods.
Optimization of material ratios: It is recommended to conduct additional studies on the optimal ratios of lime
and renovation waste materials to achieve the best soil stabilization results in different soil types, ensuring cost-
effectiveness and sustainability.
Integration with sustainable construction practices: As building renovation waste materials contribute to
reducing landfill waste, further exploration should be undertaken on how this method can be scaled for use in large
infrastructure projects, aligning with sustainable construction practices and reducing dependency on virgin
materials.
