Investigation of Zeolite and Cement on Compaction of Babolsar Sand

It is widely known and well emphasized that the cemented sand is one of economic and environmental topics in soil stabilization. In some instances, a blend of sand, cement and other materials such as fiber, glass, nano particle and zeolite can commercially available and effectively used in soil stabilization in road construction. In this investigation, zeolite and its effect on compaction studied as one of pozelan additive material to cement. Therefore, cilinopiolite kind of zeolite, Neka cement type II and Babolsar sand are used. Compaction poroctor tests were carried out on 24 combination type of cement and zeolite with include different cement percentages 2, 4, 6 and 8 percent of total dry weight of samples and replacement percent’s of 0, 10, 30, 50, 70 and 90 cement with zeolite. Results show that by replacement cement material by zeolite, the maximum dry density increased 2 to 2.5% in comparison with cemented samples and 14% optimum water content approximately concluded. At the end, a function fits Based on Voltra series presented to relate maximum dry density and zeolite-cement-soil parameters.
