UJI DURABILITAS BASAH-KERING TANAH LEMPUNG DISTABILISASI DENGAN KAPUR-ABU SEKAM PADI
Abstract
Expansive clay soils are found in many areas of Indonesia, i.e. in Kasihan,
Bantul, Yogyakarta. Expansive clay soil as a high swell and shrink behaviour. It
will expands in the rainy season and shrink in the dry season. Due to weather and
climate change that influence the characteristics of the soil, soil stabilization is
required. This research use chemical stabilization using lime and rice husk ash.
The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of water content and number of
cycles given on stabilized soil using lime and rice husk ash. In this study the
influence of weather and climate is simulated in the laboratory using wetting and
drying cycle. Comparison of lime and rice husk ash used for stabilization is 1:1
with the amount of 17% of speciment total weight. Soil, lime and rice husk ash
mixture mixed using three variations of moisture content i.e. ODM, OMC, and
OWM. Curing duration for specimen are 7 days. The results show that variation in
moisture content and wetting-drying cycle will increase the compressive strengh
(qu) and secant modulus of elasticity (E50).
