Abstract

The experimental studies on urban fill stabilised using bagasse ash, lime and cement are presented in this paper. The studies were
conducted by combining soil samples containing varied amounts of bagasse ash, cement, and lime, each was 4 percent, 8 percent,
and 12 percent respectively. The goal of this research is to enhance the geotechnical qualities of urban fills by combining industrial
waste bagasse ash with additives like lime and cement. Different percentages of cement, bagasse ash and lime were used in tests on
geotechnical qualities and compaction of urban infill. The inclusion of bagasse ash, cement, and lime to a soil sample resulted in a
considerable improvement in soil parameters. The addition of cement produces better outcomes than lime, according to the trial
data. As an outcome of this research, Bagasse ash can be recommended as a stabilising ingredient for enhancing the urban fill's
unconfined compressive strength.
