INTRODUCTION
 HISTORY
INDIAN GOVERNMENT HAS PUT FORWARD MANY PLANS TO
IMPROVE RURAL ROADS IN 11TH FIVE YEAR PLAN.
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GROUND IMPROVEMENT
TECHNIQUES.
NEED FOR FREQUENT REPAIR.
 DESIGN
 Based on the CBR value of soil sub- grade.

 Based on 10 years projected cumulative

traffic with an assumed 6% traffic growth
per year.
RELATIVE IMPACTS OF TRAFFIC
AND ENVIRONMENTAL
FACTORS
 GROUND IMPROVEMENT
TECHNIQUES

soil stabilization

Stabilization with lime

Stabilization with cement

Stabilization with combination of lime and cement

Industrial by products

Fly ash for the construction of embankments of

sub-base and base-courses.
Steel and copper slags for the construction of
sub-base and base-courses
Marble dust in sub- base and sub-grade
Common waste materials

Rice husk ash and lime sludge

INNOVATIONS IN GROUND
IMPROVEMENT

Fujibeton as a soil stabilizing agent

Terrazyme as a soil stabilizing agent
Soil cement Renolith stabilization technique .
 ALTERNATIVE
TEHNOLOGIES

Use of Jute Geo-textile

Flexible- concrete pavement technology
Use of waste plastic blended bitrumen
 CONCLUSION
Groud improvement techniques through
lime ,cement industrial products such as fly
ash steel copper slags marbledust rice husk
etc.
Innovations in ground improvement
through Fujibeton ,Terrazyme,Renolith etc.
Alternative technologies through Jute Geo-
textile,Flexible concrete pavement, use of
waste plastic blended bitumen.
