Abstract

Waste materials are hazardous and serious problem for environment. Because, they occur soil pollution, ground
water pollution and also visual pollution. Especially, industrial wastes are composed in large quantities. Many
scientists have made research to solve these problems. According to their results, they have suggested that usage of
waste materials in many areas as a material or additive material. One of the areas is soil stabilization. Soil
properties are improved with this additive wastes. In this study, laboratory tests were conducted on granular soil
specimens amended with fly ash and slime waste boron. The specimens were prepared with granular soil and fly
ash-waste boron at different ratios. They were compacted standard Proctor compaction energy and, than were
cured 1, 7 and 28 days. After cure unconfined compressive tests were conducted to investigate the effect of fly ashwaste boron on granular soil strength. Addition of fly ash-waste boron increased soil strength. As a result, fly ashwaste boron can be used with granular soil for increasing strength. This is economical solution.
