CE 1.2 Background
CE 1.2.1 Characteristics of the Project
Enzymes are protein particles, which act as catalysts in different living cells. The
catalysts increment the rate at which different chemical reactions take place without getting
consumed or altered. This type of chemical reaction is the procedure, which is responsible for
converting 1 or more substances like reactants, substrates or reagents to any other type of
substance. Bio enzyme are safer for the human health and environment, as compared to other
chemical products. In this project, I have studied the effect of bio enzyme over the quality of
sub grade or base course layers as well as its major influence on the pavement system.
Moreover, I even have optimized the quantity of bio enzyme only to be utilized as a
stabilising agent, by doing stabilization tests. Hence, in this work, I have successfully
executed a stabilization test, after identification of mechanics of soil stabilization and
different parameters and features related to Terrazyme.

CE 1.2.2 Objectives of the project
I understood that the main objective of stabilization test is reduction of expenses and
also utilize the locally available materials efficiently. Most of the common applications of
soil stabilization is observed in the road construction and airfield pavement designing. These
enzymes are responsible for enhancing the soil properties and also altering geo technical soil
properties. I have used Terrazyme for the project work. The few developed objectives of the
project are:
 To study the experimental output by completing stabilization tests.
 To study the overall effect of Bio enzyme on the quality of sub grade or base course
layers as well as its major influence on the pavement system.
 To select Terrazyme as the main element or Bio enzyme for this project work.
 To optimize the quantity of bio enzyme to be utilized as the major stabilizing agent as
well as the extent of stabilization of strength gain with time.
 To analyze the effect of addition of Terrazyme for improvement of CBR value of soil.
 To find future scope for the study and check if the absorbed layer thickness is
reduced.
CE 1.2.3 My work area
I was chosen as the significant project developer for this particular work of bio
enzyme. Before starting the work, I decided to clear my doubts related to bio enzyme by
accessing Internet and scholarly articles. I researched properly and then I was successful in
clearing my doubts and as a result, it led to the development of soil stabilization techniques. I
had to choose a suitable and appropriate technique for stabilization for the work, after I
considered the major soil properties. I did not include any other team member in my work as
I was confident enough to complete the work, all by myself.

CE 1.2.5 My responsibilities
To finish this specified work of testing of bio enzyme with stabilization test, my first
duty was to research about different types of bio enzymes. After significant testing, I selected
Terrazyme for the work as it is being utilized as a soil stabilizer in road construction
infrastructure. As a result, it helps in improving the soil properties. I have checked and
analysed the effect of addition of Terrazyme to improve CBR value of the soil. I even had to
study the experimental output after completing different stabilization tests and also study the
effect of bio enzyme over the quality of sub grade or base course layers as well as its major
influence on the pavement system. I even had to optimize the quantity of Terrazyme that was
to be utilized as the main stabilizing agent and also check the extent of gain of strength
stabilization with time.
