Stabilization of lateritic soil from Agbara Nigeria with ceramic waste dust

Geotechnical properties of lateritic soil stabilized with ceramic waste dust (CWD) additive was examined. Specific tests conducted on the modified soil samples include grain-size distribution, Atterberg Limits, Proctor Compaction tests, and California Bearing Ratio tests. Lateritic soil obtained fro...

Liquid Limit decreased from 59.62% (unmixed laterite) to 35.61% (30% CWD addition). The Plastic Limit decreased linearly from 40.11% (unmixed laterite) to 23.31% (when mixed with 30% CWD).
