Expansive soils are a worldwide problem that poses several challenges for civil engineers. Such soils swell when given an access to water and shrink when they dry out. The most common and economical method for stabilizing these soils is using admixtures that prevent volume changes. In this study the effect of using Bigadic zeolite (boron by-product) in reducing the swelling potential is examined. The expansive soil is prepared in the laboratory by mixturing kaolinite and bentonite. Bigadic zeolite (boron by-product) is added to the soil at 0 to 25 percent by weight. Grain size distribution, Atterberg limits and swell percent and rate of swell of the mixtures are determined. Specimens are cured for 7 and 28 days. As a result of the experimental study, it was seen that addition of Bigadic zeolite (boronby-product) decreased swelling potential and rate of swell of the artificially prepared expansive soil specimen at laboratory conditions. The swell percentage and rate of swell of the stabilized specimens are affected positively by curing.

Improvement of expansive soils by using cement kiln dust
Yılmaz, Mehmet Kağan; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
Expansive soils are a worldwide problem that poses several challenges for civil engineers. Such soils swell when given an access to water and shrink when they dry out. The most common and economical method for stabilizing these soils is using admixtures that prevent volume changes. In this study, effect of using cement kiln dust (CKD) in reducing the swelling potential was examined. The expansive soil was prepared in the laboratory by mixing kaolinite and bentonite. Cement kiln dust (CKD) was added to the s...
Stabilization of an expansive soil using phosphogypsum
Özkan, İlyas; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
Expansive soils are a worldwide problem that poses several challenges for civil engineers. Such soils swell when given an access to water and shrink when they dry out. The most common and economical method for stabilizing these soils is using admixtures that prevent volume changes. Studies for treatment of expansive soils with phosphogypsum are very limited in literature. In this study the effect of phosphogypsum (PG) in reducing the swelling potential is examined. The expansive soil was prepared in the lab...
Stabilization of Expansive Soils by Using Aggregate Waste, Rock Powder and Lime
Yeşilbaş, Gülşah; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
Expansive soils are a worldwide problem that poses several challenges for civil engineers. Such soils swell when given an access to water and shrink when they dry out. The most common and economical method for stabilizing these soils is using admixtures that prevent volume changes. In this study the effect of using rock powder and aggregate waste with lime in reducing the swelling potential is examined. The expansive soil used in this study is prepared in the laboratory by mixturing kaolinite and bentonite....
An Experimental study on the treatment of expansive soils by granular materials
Hergül, Timuçin; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
Expansive soils are a worldwide problem that possesses various challenges for civil engineers. With increasing water content, they exhibit excessive volume changes, resulting in large horizontal and vertical stresses to the structures located or buried in these regions. The most common method to minimize this effect is to replace these types of clays around the proposed structure with nonexpansive soils. For the cases needing larger volume of replacement, either sidewalls or the foundations must be designed...
Stabilization of expansive soils using waste marble dust
Başer, Onur; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
Expansive soils occurring in arid and semi-arid climate regions of the world cause serious problems on civil engineering structures. Such soils swell when given an access to water and shrink when they dry out. Several attempts are being made to control the swell-shrink behavior of these soils. Soil stabilization using chemical admixtures is the oldest and most widespread method of ground improvement. In this study, waste limestone dust and waste dolomitic marble dust, by-products of marble industry, were us...
