Report on Soil Stabilization Using Bio-Enzyme in Civil Engineering

This report details a civil engineering project focused on stabilizing black cotton soil using the bio-enzyme Terrazyme. The study investigates the impact of Terrazyme on soil properties, specifically examining the results of California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCC) tests. The report explores the application of established engineering methods, techniques, and tools to address complex challenges in soil stabilization. It also covers the project's systematic approach to engineering synthesis, design processes, and project management, highlighting the importance of ethical conduct, effective communication, and professional attributes. The project demonstrates the practical application of bio-enzyme technology to improve soil strength and durability, with the aim of cost reduction and efficient use of local materials in construction projects. Furthermore, the report mentions the professional attributes of the student, including communication, innovation, and teamwork, emphasizing their ability to manage information and conduct themselves professionally.
