Abstract

Massive utilization of pond ash in earth works requires thorough understanding of its geotechnical characteristics, especially strength characteristics. Here in this paper, a detailed experimental study carried on the strength and other geotechnical characteristics of pond ash samples, collected from inflow and outflow points of two ash ponds in India, are presented. Strength characteristics were investigated using consolidated drained (CD) and undrained (\( \overline{\text{CU}} \)) triaxial tests with pore water pressure measurements, conducted on loose and compacted specimens of pond ash samples under different confining pressures. Ash samples from inflow point exhibited behaviour similar to sandy soils in many respects. They exhibited higher strengths than reference material (Yamuna sand), though their specific gravity and compacted maximum dry densities are significantly lower than sands. Ash samples from outflow point exhibited significant differences in their properties and values, compared to samples from inflow point. Shear strength of the ash samples from outflow point are observed to be low, particularly in loose state where static liquefaction is observed.
