1. Analysis of Tarun kumar et NIT Raipur They concluded that increase
slope stability al in the percentage of flyash
of flyash increases the FOS up to
stabilized soil addition of 30% fly ash, then
sample there is slight reduction in
FOS

2. Embankment Bhaskar et al International Analysis of embankments

3. Analysis of road Chunyuan Hebei The magnitude of the
embankment Llu et al University Of increase in the bearing
slope stability Technology capacity of the sub grade
will be different when
using different when using
different empirical
formulae.

4. A study on Arvind Department of The fly ash can be used in

backfill kumar et al Environmental embankments, it imparts
properties and Science and strength and very little
use of fly ash for Engineering settlements

Fly ash has several advantages for the construction of embankments.The main advantages are
its low unt weight and high shear strength.The Pozzolanic hardening of fly ash imparts
additional strength and very little settlements,making it more suitable for use in
embankments.
Uses :

• Used in manufacturing of bricks, asbestos sheets.

• Used in retaining walls, Pavements, Dams.

• Used in manufacturing of high-performance concrete.

Objective of the
project
• To check the stability analysis of fly ash embankment by using Geostudio
software.

• To determine the basic engineering properties of fly ash using various laboratory tests.
• To select the embankment cross-section from literature.
• To assign the properties of the fly ash to the embankment cross-section and Factor of
safety
Methodology 8
