Abstract
Every year millions of tonnes of Flyash is produced all over India and its disposal is a big problem. For Bulk Utilization of Flyash in geotechnical construction activities like roads, embankments etc. a detailed experimental study for the utilization of flyash is conducted with various percentages of lime and sodium silicate in order to increase the strength characteristics. The main objective is to study the development of the strength by optimizing the percentage of lime and sodium silicate. The strength characteristics for various percentages of lime and sodium silicate added to flyash are tested for Compaction and Shear box tests. From the test data it was found that 8 to 10% of Lime and 2 to 3 % of Silicate have exhibited higher strengths.
