Abstract
Soil stabilization is the procedure in which a special soil, a cementing material, or chemical material is added to a natural soil to improve its properties. The use of stabilizing agents can improve and maintain soil moisture content, increase soil particle cohesion and serve as water proofing agents. This study is been carried out to find the production amount of nano-silica, ferrum and calcium as a green technology to soil stabilization. The production amount of nano-silica, ferrum and calcium from agricultural waste is to be determined through a various test of experiment. The tests that were used are sieve analysis, atterberg limit, specific gravity, permeability and triaxial test. Other tests used to find the production of vege-grout are Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and API Kit 20NE/20E. It is founded that cabbage following with long bean, cucumber, water spinach and spinach are suitable to be used for bio cementation methods. Meanwhile, long bean following with cucumber, spinach, cabbage and water spinach are suitable to be used for bio clogging methods. Vege-grout is a promising research fields that may significantly improve the mixture design, performance and production of additives materials. Materials composed of nano-sized particles displays unique physical and chemical properties compared to those with the normal sizes particle.
