Behavior of Black Cotton Soil Stablized With Fly Ash

Abstract

This project mainly includes the stabilization of black cotton soil with the admixtures fly ash. It is very important to know the behavior of black cotton soil and its problems so that construction could be done efficiently. This research paper examine the behavior of black cotton soil stabilized with different proportion 15%, 20% and 25% of fly ash added to the black cotton soil. The admixtures used in this project are easily available and are economical beneficial. The various tests on black cotton soil with addition of fly ash are performed after developing the samples. The main aim of this research was to find the optimum percentage of mixing fly ash with the black cotton soil. The results obtained from the experiments are compared to the black cotton soil with the admixture fly ash. The results are obtained in terms of liquid limit, plastic limit, shrinkage limit, plastic index, maximum dry density and optimum moisture content.
