An Experimental Study on Stabilization of Clayey Soils by using Chrome Lignite

Use of natural Coal waste as soil reinforcement is gaining much attention by geotechnical engineers as it has inherent advantage with regard to its availability, cost and does not pose environmental hazard on the long run. Lignite when used as a soil reinforcement is found to increase peak compressive strength, shear strength, and ductility of the soil. In the present experimental study, un drained tri axial tests were conducted on black cotton soil BC Soil mixed with Lignite and the effect of treatment on peak deviator stress and shear parameters were studied. The results of the experimental investigation found that Lignite as reinforcement to BC soil causes significant increase in peak deviator stress. Increase in of lignite increases cohesion and angle of internal friction. Black cotton soil and Lignite ash has prepared by varying of different proportions with respect to dry the density.
