| Summary: | The ground improvement for enhancing earth structure and stability by natural material has acceptable demand due to reducing negative effect of cost and project. This thesis presented a new sand mixture design based on mineralogy and morphology. The sand-bentonite-oil palm fiber interaction has been studied for understanding design and analyzing unstable sandy subsoil. The ground improvement was simplified. The sand-bentonite-oil palm fiber was test for improving shear strength parameter. The bentonite thermally has been process under 100 0C, 300 0C, 500 OC and 700 oc for 1 hour. The percentage of bentonite and oil
palm fiber were 1% and 2% by weight of the mixture. The result indicates that 2 % fiber and 2% modifies bentonite give the best result as 59 kPa by using 500°C of modifies bentonite. |
