What is Ground Improvement Using Municipal Solid Waste Ash about?

Municipal solid waste (MSW) is heterogeneous in nature. As lands for disposal are not adequate, solid waste is becoming a major environmental problem. At present, incineration is one of the methods being used in the Ghazipur landfill for the treatment of municipal solid waste. An experimental investigation is performed to understand the effect on the unconfined compression strength of clayey soil mixed with different percentages of municipal solid waste. Usually, clayey soils have low-strength characteristics due to which they are unable to take excessive loads transmitted on them from the foundation structures. The study outlines the influence on the properties of soil and its engineering behaviour when ash is used in different proportions and hence proving it as soil stabilizing material for ground improvement. The tests results demonstrated good improvement in strength of soil and showed that MSW ash can be used for ground improvement. The increase in unconfined compressive strength exceeded 50% as compared to pure soil.
