Effect of the cement-rice husk ash on the plasticity and compaction of soil

The chemical stabilisation of soils was studied by using cement and rice husk ash. Three types of soils, residual soils, kaolinite and bentonite, were used in the study. The experimental study included the evaluation of the main index properties of the soil and compaction, along with a characterisat...
