COMPARISON STUDY OF GEOTECHNICAL BEHAVIOUR OF SAND, POND ASH AND FIBERS UNDER LOADING

Abstract

In coal-fired power producers coal is majorly used in production. It was utilized for charging in the furnace boilers in the form of cones. These the lumps were usually immersed continuously in a moving gate. With the rise in temperature, the ash takes on a molten form. After chilling, it turns into cinder containing little ash. It has been proven as power saver. Global production of lake ash is growing every year. Both in disposal, and in practice, appropriate measures should be taken to protect the person life, wildlife and nature. Accordingly, a study was conducted for different combinations of sand, pond ash along with fibers encapsulated into the geo fiber sheet were subjected to different overburden pressures and were tested for varied permeability conditions.
