Influence of Crushed Brick Columns on Geotechnical Properties of Expansive Soil

Utilization of crushed brick which is a common industrial material that is potentially wasted during the construction process in ground improvement can relieve its detrimental effects on the environment thereby reducing the waste disposal challenges. Hence, this study proposes its utilization as rei...

description Utilization of crushed brick which is a common industrial material that is potentially wasted during the construction process in ground improvement can relieve its detrimental effects on the environment thereby reducing the waste disposal challenges.

The tests mainly focused on the particle size distribution (PSD), specific gravity, Atterberg limit, proctor analysis as well as the shear strength parameters from Unconfined Compression Test (UCT). Coherently, the vibro-replacement method was deployed within a small-scale laboratory approach as a prediction model for the construction of a group of crushed brick columns.
