Abstract

Effects of moulding water contents on some geotechnical properties of an expansive soil stabilized with optimum (20%) amount of rice straw ash (RSA) have been discussed in this paper. Standard Proctor compaction, unconfined compressive strength, soaked California bearing ratio, hydraulic conductivity and swelling pressure tests were conducted on expansive soil-RSA mixes, by preparing the samples at maximum dry density but having five different moulding water contents, Optimum moisture content (OMC), and dry and wet sides of OMC. From the test results it is found that moulding water contents have significant effects on the geotechnical properties of this stabilized expansive soil.
