Abstract:

Ground pollution arises from the impact of past and current industrial activity and due to improper disposal of waste generated by society. In this paper ,it is concentrated on the behaviour of soil mixed using glycerol, which is a major constituent and by-product of industries. Attempts to understand the soil response to glycerol, its changes with various concentration of pollutant. The study continues by asessing the effects of various amounts of cement-soil mixture with various percentage of glycerol. The glycerol- soil samples were prepared with different percentages of a glycerol solution with 40% concentration. The results showed that the UCS strength decreased with the increase in glycerol perentage
