Title:           Engineering behaviour of solid waste improved by sand
Authors:     Sharid Shahnewaz, Md. Ariful Hossain
Abstract:     A lot of wastes are produced everyday through human activities, in which solid waste is most. These wastes are dumped near the suburb of a city. After 20 to 30 years later these wastes or landfill became a part of soil. Due to the filling of low land with solid wastes, at the end of filling, a considerable area of land will be available that can be used for urban development. For the increasing population, the human traffic diverted from main city to its’ suburb portion. The newly developed land with decomposed wastes can used for construction of multistory buildings for living, shopping or for business purpose etc. However, it is very important to know the main engineering properties of that soil before going to urban development in that area. In this work it is figure out the main engineering properties of solid waste and also tried to improve the basic soil properties with mixing of sand of various proportions as an admixture.
