ABSTRACT
The project deals with stabilization of soil using industrial waste. Unsuitable highway sub grade soil requires stabilization
to improve its properties. Industrial waste sand is used as raw materials when the sand can no longer be reused in the
industry, it is removed from the industry and is removed from the industry and is termed as industrial waste sand.
Ingredients used are Copper slag, cement and lime. Copper slag is a by product of Copper industryLime was bought from
locally available chemical laboratories. The project are planned to conduct various experiment like Specific gravity, sieve
analysis, proctor compaction test, unconfined compressive strength and CBR test to increase strength properties and
behaviour of sub base. Then the results and graphs of various mixes are compared to see their effects in sub base
stabilization. The stabilization technique has an additional benefit of providing an environment friendly way to deal with
industrial waste sand.

1. INTRODUCTION
The sub-base is an important layer in both flexible and rigid pavements. It mainly acts as a structural layer helping to
spread the wheel loads so that the subgrade is not over-stressed. It also plays a useful role as a separation layer betThe
projecten the base and the subgrade and provides a good working platform on which the other paving materials can be
transported, laid and compacted. It can also act as a drainage layer. The selection of material and the design of the sub-
base will depend upon the particular design function of the layer and also the expected in-situ moisture
conditions.Stabilised sub-bases can be used for both flexible and rigid road pavements, although the reasons for doing this
can vary. In order to identify the benefits of stabilising sub-bases, it is necessary to examine the role of the sub-base for
each pavement type. A stabilised, and therefore stiffer, sub-base provides greater load spreading ability and hence reduces
stresses imposed on the subgrade. When stabilised the sub-base provides much of the structural rigidity in the pavement,
and also assists during the compaction of the upper granular layers and hence increases their ability to withstand
deformation.
Indian Resource Council materials have been used successfully in stabilized base and subbase applications as the binder,
the pozzolanic material admixture or as both the fine and coarse aggregate. Slag materials have also been used in
stabilized layers. Slag cement can be used as the binder for stabilized base and subbase layers, while air cooled blast
furnace slag has been used very successfully as fine aggregate. Other Indian Resource Council materials that have been
used successfully in stabilized base applications include industrial waste sand, which have been used as a fine aggregate
and crushed concrete, which is used for both coarse and fine aggregate. One benefit of recycling concrete is that it keeps
high quality natural aggregates in use. In addition, Portland cement concrete pavements can be recycled on site, which
reduces project costs by eliminating the transportation costs associated with removing the old concrete.
The use of Indian Resource Council materials as aggregates in high volume applications like base and subbase
layers reduces the need for mining virgin aggregate and the associated use of water, fuel and reduces carbon dioxide
emissions, while also saving valuable landfill space. At the same time, the performance of these materials is as good or
better then natural materials, which provides added value to the project because of the reduced costs. In addition, the use
slag cement provides strong, cost effective pavement layers while reducing green house gas emissions and energy
consumption compared to cement.

2. MATERIALS USED
2.2 Lime:
Lime is a calcium-containing inorganic material in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides predominate. Strictly
speaking, lime is calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide. The word "lime" originates with its earliest use as building mortar
and has the sense of "sticking or adhering." These materials are still used in large quantities as building and engineering
materials (including limestone products, concrete and mortar) and as chemical feedstock‟s, and sugar refining, among
other uses. The rocks and minerals from which these materials are derived, typically limestone or chalk, are composed
primarily of calcium carbonate. They may be cut, crushed or pulverized and chemically altered. "Burning" (calcinations)
converts them into the highly caustic material quicklime (calcium oxide, CaO) and, through subsequent addition of water,
into the less caustic (but still strongly alkaline) slaked lime or hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2), the process of
which is called slaking of lime.

5. CONCLUSION
From the study it is observed that there is an appreciable improvement in the optimum moisture content and
maximum dry density for the soil treated with industrial waste. In terms of material cost, the use of less costly Admixtures
can reduce the required amount of industrial waste. Soils had the greatest improvement with all soils becoming non-
plastic with the addition of sufficient amounts of industrial waste. The study after conducting several experiments
revealed the following significances in using lime and industrial waste as a stabilizing agent. The addition of lime and
industrial waste mixes to sub base increases the unconfined compressive strength value more than that by ordinary
methods. The sub base stabilization with lime and industrial waste mixes improves the strength behaviour of sub base. It
can potentially reduce ground improvement costs by adopting this method of stabilization.
