- Abstract
Massive quantities of industrial wastes, such as stone industry waste, are obtained yearly. The generated limestone waste that deposits into landfills may be decreased via using it in building materials' preparation. In this study, crushed limestone (CLS) was used to enhance the geotechnical properties of low plasticity clay (LPC) soil of Sulaimania governorate, northern Iraq. Consistency, compression and compressibility characteristics were examined and evaluated. CLS was added by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% as a replacement from the dry mass of natural soil. Experimental results by using CLS yielded a notable level of improvement of the expansive soils' geotechnical properties. Essential modification in the geotechnical properties was achieved due to the addition of 20% of CLS.
