Abstract
View PDFVaikom kari soil is a very soft soil with low shear strength, high organic matter, and high compressibility exists in unconsolidated state. These characteristics of soils is very challenging to geotechnical engineers and the construction industry. The main focus of the present paper is to discuss the removal of organic matter , strength and compressibility characteristics of stabilized peat soil by using lime and biochar based on various laboratory test results. The unconfined compressive strength of stabilized peat soil using lime increases with increase in percentage of lime. Quick lime and biochar added at 12% and 15% of dry weight of soil . Thus the strength characteristics of treated peat soils are improved due to the influence of lime and biochar.
