Sustainable Slope Stabilization Using Corn Cob Ash: (A Green Approach to Erosion Control)

This project explores corn cob ash as a sustainable, low-cost stabilizer to improve slope stability

Let's See

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

Cost Reduction, Waste Management & Environmental Benefit, Rural Economic Empowerment, Infrastructure Longevity, Sustainable Development
