Abstract
The use of deep soil mixing (DSM) in ground-improvement projects, for structures subjected to low to medium loads, has increased over the past decade due to its convenient and practical implementation and its economic advantages. Traditionally, Portland cement and lime have been the most popular binders for DSM applications. However, the ground-improvement industry has been keen to explore environmentally friendly alternatives with low carbon dioxide emission. The aim of this research is to investigate the use of two stockpiled industrial waste by-products, namely, fly ash (FA) and slag (S), as alternative green binders in ground-improvement projects that would reduce the carbon footprint of..
