DESIGN OF EXPERIMENT (DoE)

ABSTRACT
Soil Stabilization is the permanent physical and chemical alteration of soils and aggregates to enhance engineering
properties, thus improving the load bearing capacity of a sub-grade or sub-base to support pavements. This study is
keen to observe the Soil Stabilization using Rice Husk Ash and Pulverized Glass by performing Direct Shear Test.
Collection of the soil sample was from Morning, Rizal, which has a mid-strength soil. Furthermore, this particular soil
was needed to be enhanced. Carbonized Rice Husk or Rice hulls, a blackish compound that has been obtained by
burning the hard protecting coverings of grains of rice (Rice Husk). Combustion of rice hulls affords rice husk
ash (acronym RHA). This ash is a potential source of amorphous reactive silica, which has a variety of applications
in materials science. Most of the ash is used in the production of Portland cement. In addition, a pulverized glass was
added to stabilize the soil.
