Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the geotechnical behavior of coastal soil from Bagan Lalang, focusing on treatments with lime, cement, and rice husk ash (RHA) to create an eco-friendly and affordable mixture.
- Laboratory tests assessed the physical and mechanical properties of the treated soil, showing significant enhancements in shear strength and stability with LRHA mixtures, particularly at a 1:2 ratio with 8% lime content.
- Results indicated that curing time positively affected cohesion and internal friction angle, with cured samples showing substantial strength improvements over time, especially at 90 days compared to 7 days.
In some parts of tropical Africa, termite mound locations are traditionally used to site groundwater structures mainly in the form of hand-dug wells with high success rates. However, the scientific rationale behind the use of mounds as prospective sites for locating groundwater structures has not been thoroughly investigated. In this paper, locations and structural features of termite mounds were mapped with the aim of determining the aquifer potential beneath termite mounds and comparing the same with adjacent areas, 10 m away.
