Résumé
This study presents the micro-physical investigation of polypropylene (PP) fiber-reinforced, and silica fume (SF) stabilized expansive soil (BC) subgrade. The coupling effect of soil, PP fiber, and SF has been evaluated under the freezing-thawing (F-T) cycle to assess the durability of treated BC Soil. The curing method and duration staggeringly influence the strength of SF treated BC soil; therefore, three different curing method, i.e., moisture-controlled curing (MC), gunny bag curing (GC), and water submerged curing (SC) to a period of 7, 14, and 28 days were considered. The BC soil has been reinforced with 0.25%, 0.50%, and 1.00% PP fiber and stabilized with 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% SF. The physical, chemical, and microstructural properties were determined before and after 2,4,6,8,10 F-T cycles. With the increase in SF content, the unconfined compressive strength of the expansive soil has been increased due to the formation of Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) gel. The chemically inert, hydrophobic, non-corrosive nature, and higher tensile strength of PP fiber, it has a higher potential to reinforce the BC soil for durability under tensile failure. This research confirms the possibility of incorporating SF and PP Fiber in road work applications, with significant environmental benefits.
