Mechanical behaviour of lateritic soil stabilized with bone ash and hydrated lime for sustainable building applications

This research is aimed at achieving effective utilization of lateritic soil as a sustainable building material by improving its strength using lime and bone ash. Different percentages of hydrated lime (3%, 9% and 15%) and bone ash (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) were used. Room-drying, sun-drying and oven-dr...
