Effects of Fly Ash and Granulated Ground Blast Furnace Slag on Stabilization of Crude Oil Contamination Sandy Soil
Open accessAbstract
This paper deals with on stabilization of crude oil-contaminated soil. Industrial waste materials such as GGBFS and fly ash (FA) are used to achieve acceptable results for compaction and strength properties. GGBFS and FA utilized in two groups of soil (clean soil and 6% contaminated with crude oil) with varying proportions of GGBFS and FA by weight of soil. The primary goals of this study explain to establish a conclusion that GGBFS and FA are the best byproduct stabilizer material for increasing the strength and stability of soil by investigating samples of soil. In this study, the effect of GGBFS and FA on compaction properties (OMC and MDD) and direct shear strength (cohesion and angle of friction) observed. Different percentages of GGBFS (0%, 10%, and 15%) and FA (0%, 10%, and 15%) by dry weight were utilized in mixtures of sandy soil samples for different experiments. Ultimately, bases on the experimental results, it is summarized that the use of industrial wastes, i.e. GGBFS and Flyash, are affected in shear strength and compaction properties. Although, they have environment-friendly behavior for the construction project purpose.

Addition of fly ash reduces swell shrinkage of soil and improves soil strength.
“so as to reduce the swell shrinkage of the soil and improve soil strength [41,42,44,46,54,69,70,71,72,73].”
From Potential of Soil Stabilization Using Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) and Fly Ash via Geopolymerization Method: A Review (2022) · cites this paper as [42]
The Abstract (page not provided) says fly ash was used to stabilize sandy soil and identifies increasing soil strength as a study goal. It does not report reduced soil swell–shrinkage; the shrinkage mention in the References concerns concrete, not this study's soil. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAddition of fly ash is one method to stabilize soil because fly ash is a pozzolan that can bind to minerals in soil and make the soil stable.
“The addition of fly ash is one of the methods to stabilize soil because fly ash is a pozzolan, in which it can bind to minerals in soil and make the soil stable”
From Potential of Soil Stabilization Using Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) and Fly Ash via Geopolymerization Method: A Review (2022) · cites this paper as [42]
The Abstract (page not specified in our copy) describes fly ash as a material used to stabilize sandy soil and improve its strength and stability. It does not say that fly ash is a pozzolan or that it stabilizes soil by binding to soil minerals; that proposed mechanism is unsupported by the passages found. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredChemical stabilization processes such as mixing with GGBFS and fly ash by-products can alter the compressive strength, swelling potential, and volume change properties of soil.
“It is possible to alter the compressive strength, swelling potential, and volume change properties of soil through chemical stabilization processes such as mixing with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and fly ash by-products, as well as mixes of any of these materials [39,40,41,42,43].”
From Potential of Soil Stabilization Using Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) and Fly Ash via Geopolymerization Method: A Review (2022) · cites this paper as [42]
The Abstract (page not available) reports that GGBFS and fly ash affect the direct shear strength and compaction properties of clean and crude-oil-contaminated sandy soil. It does not report compressive strength, swelling potential, or volume change as such, so those specific properties are not supported by this source. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
