Characteristics of Clay Soils Utilizing Okra Tips

Soft clay soil is well known to deform and fail beneath a light surcharge load and being described via high compressibility, low shear strength, and high content of water. The objective of the present study is to determine the optimum okra tips that can be added to stabilize soft clayey soil. Several tests were conducted to determine how varying percentages of okra two ends plants (3, 6 and 9%) for all additives to the dry weight of soil affect the results. The experimental work is used to get the percent of consistency limits, compaction, consolidation, and unconfined compressive strength of the two okra ends increased significantly over time until the improvise continuously decayed. As per the research results, adding, 9%, okra tips stabilizer increased the shear strength and efficiently bonded soil particles together, of resulting in the best engineering qualities. Raising the end content of okra leads to a 57 percent increase in the unconfined compressive strength in content 9 % okra tips.
