Improvement/Evaluation of Bearing Capacity of Sandy Soil in Kuje. Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria by Grouting
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Civil Engineering
Abstract
This project work is on improvement/evaluation of bearing capacity of sandy soil by grouting. The sample was collected along Kuje road Abuja and subjected to various tests such as Compaction test, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), Atterberg Limit Test, Liquid Test, Plastic Limit Test, and Sieve Analysis Test. In relation to the subject matter, view of some scholars and authors were reviewed and the data collected which are presented and analyzed accordingly. According to the various test the experiment was subjected to it was concluded that the Improvement experiment shows that, Mc is static, while the cement grouting is increased, at 2% the strength increased to a value above 0%, when the grouting cement is further increased to 4% the strength increased to a higher value than 2%. However, when further increased to 6%, it is observed that, the strength of cement grouting dropped below the value of 4%. This result shows that at 4% grouting is the best hydration process of the strength valve. In the Evaluation process of the experiment as the cement grouting is increased by 2% Mc is increased, thus strength value is recorded, when further subjected to increase to 4%, the result value is higher than 2%, this process is repeated for 6% and the result is higher than 4% respectively, showing that, there is an adequate cement hydration process in the experiment.
