Investigations of Properties of Soil-Aggregate Mixtures

Abstract

Abstract The subject of this paper is the evaluation of the use of waste material, which is the native soil. On the example of the base ground taken from the village of Lipie (Podkarpackie voivodeship), soil-aggregate mixtures were prepared with a different degree of addition of natural aggregate. The study analysed the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the prepared mixtures and assessed their physical and mechanical properties to determine their suitability for the construction of nfrastructural facilities. It should be noted that most specifications recommend the use of primarily aggregate mixtures. The paper presents the results of a study analysing the effect of aggregate admixture to the native soil on selected physical and strength properties of the mixtures developed. The obtained results confirmed the validity of research on the use of soil-aggregate mixtures for construction purposes.
