Objectives
• Evaluate effectiveness of CCA as a soil stabilizer. • Analyze geotechnical property changes in CCA-treated soil. • Determine CCA composition and pozzolanic potential (XRF). • Assess erosion resistance and water infiltration. • Validate results using slope stability modeling. • Promote CCA as an eco-friendly, low-cost alternative. • Support SDGs by reusing agricultural waste in infrastructure.
Socio-Economic Benefit
