Experimental insights of using waste marble fines to modify the geotechnical properties of a lateritic soil

~ 60fff44196b0ef06b6eb6e28437bcfef.200x200
Marble spoil waste is an environmental nuisance. The effects of adding waste marble fines (WMF) on the plasticity, strength and permeability of a lateritic clay have been investigated for its potential use as a soil modifier or stabilizer of road pavement layer materials or earth-building materials. The chemical compositions of the WMF and soil were determined using X-ray fluorescence and...
