STUDY ON STABILIZATION OF BLACK COTTON SOILS USING CEMENT FLYASH AND GGBS

The correct stabilization of foundation soils issue in the present Civil Engineering world. Soil stabilization with Cement, Fly and GGBS is a way of achieving the proposed goals, which is at the same time inexpensive and easy to apply in practically any type o shows major volume changes due to change in moisture content. These soils gets expand when water or moisture content is added and shrink when dry. By adding the other materials to the soil we can improve the stability and e soil. The main goal in this project work is to quantify the benefits achieved with the Cement, Fly-Ash and GGBS stabilization of a Black Cotton soil. Utilization of industrial waste materials like Fly in cost. The performance of Cement, Fly evaluated using Standard Proctor test and Modified Proctor test. Based on the performance tests, after doing a comparative study the optimum amount of material be used for the black cotton soil which will give more stability will be known
