TITLE:SWELL BEHAVIOUR OF EXPANSIVE SOILTREATED WITH GRANULATED MILD STEEL SLUDGE

ABSTRACT: : Engineering restrictions because of loose soils have been observed in large number of countries all around the world. They waste millions of dollars due to their ill effects on structures. Such damages are very effective especially in the arid and semi-arid zones. Expansive soils with the composition of the clay mineral montmorillonite with clay stones, sedimentary, shales and residual soils are having the tendency of absorption of water and thereby swell. The porous nature of the soil is very rare near the ground surface where the wearing layer is enhanced to seasonal and environment variations. As they absorb the water more and more, their volume increases. Similarly Expansive soils shrink due to the loss of water.
