Abstract :

The paper presents the results of a laboratory study carried out on oil contaminated soil samples treated with Rice Husk Ash (RHA) contents at the Standard Proctor compaction energy. The results obtained showed improvements in the properties of the RHA treated oil contaminated soil samples. The Atterberg limits decreased with higher RHA content and maximum Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) value of 405 kN/m2 at 2 % oil/ 2 % RHA content was obtained.
