The sieving process is supported by water from the spray
nozzle which is located above the uppermost sieve. The

water leaves the sieve stack together with the last fraction
through the outlet in the collector. Rinsing is carried out 4.1 Plastic limit test
until the liquid leaving the sieve stack outlet is no longer The Plastic limit values for various mixes are shown in table 4.2

V. CONCLUSION
From the experiments, the following conclusions
have been made:
1.
The stabilization of clay soil with pond ash,
Mosaic dust and Lime is very effective
because of their cementitious property.
2.
The CBR value of clay when stabilized with
those waste materials is increased from 1.3%
to 21.7% which is 16 times greater than that of
the CBR value of clay.
3.
Mix 2(clay 75%; PA 20%; MD 55%; LIME
3%) can be taken as optimum one for clay soil
stabilization because the CBR value of mix 2
is 21.71% which is comparatively higher than
the other three mixes and also we could
effectively replace the waste materials around
25%.
4.
CBR values get reduced marginally when go
for higher percentage of replacement but those
values were greater than that of clay.
5.
Since the clay is known for swelling by adding
materials which are rich in lime content has a
great control over swelling property of clay.
6.
Utilization of waste material such as pond ash
and mosaic dust in our booming infrastructure
development will protect the environment and
by using them we can avoid the problems like
free swell index and plasticity index,
economically as an alternative solution to the
road construction.
