Black cotton soil is very susceptible to detrimental volume changes, with changes in moisture. This behavior of soil is attributed to the presence of mineral Montmorillonite which has expanding lattice; Black cotton soils because of their specific physical & chemical make are subjected to volume changes. In many countries including India, these soils are so extensive that alteration of highway route to avoid the material is virtually impossible. Various remedial measures like soil replacement, prewetting, moisture control, lime stabilization etc have been practiced with varied degree of success. Extensive research is going on to find the solutions to black cotton soils. In the present work experimentation is carried out to investigate efficacy of lime, fly ash, Alkalis and other Additives in improving the properties of black cotton soil

Soil is the basic foundation for any civil engineeringstructures. It is required to bear the loads without failure. In some places, soil may be weak which cannot resist the oncoming loads. In such cases, soil stabilization is needed. Numerous methods are available in the literature for soil stabilization. But sometimes, some of the methods like chemical stabilization, lime stabilization etc. adversely affects the chemical composition of the soil. In this study, Lime, Sodium Hydroxide, Aluminium Oxide & Phosphorus Pentoxide was mixed with clay soil to investigate the relative strength gain in terms of unconfined compression, bearing capacity and compaction. The effect of lime on the index and engineering properties of clay-lime and other clay-chemical mixtures was investigated by conducting standard Proctor compaction tests, unconfined compression tests. The tests were performed as per Indian Standard specifications. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of various proportions of Lime i.e.

Every Structure rests on soil! So, the properties of soil extraordinarily influence the dependability of the structure laid on it. In India, a large portion of land is of clayey nature & among this, expansion soil is of great proportion. Black Cotton Soil (Expansion soils) have got the property of swelling and shrinkage when exposed to variation in climatic conditions. This mercurial behavior is mainly due the presence of clay mineral montmorillonite. In spite of the fact that having extraordinary agricultural worth, these soils are posing serious threat to the structures founded on it due to the swelling and shrinking behavior. So, to overcome the problem of swelling and shrinking vast number of studies have been carried out from the past decades so as to enhance the properties of Black Cotton Soils. From the experimental experience and data analysis, Soil Stabilization was way out for this problem. Soil Stabilization technique has proven a best method for enhancing the properties of Black Cotton Soil. In this study, the Black Cotton Soil is stabilized by lime, fly ash, GGBS (ground granulated blast furnace) at different percentages & a comparative study is carried out to study the properties of Stabilized Black Cotton Soil with the properties of simple Black Cotton Soil obtained from the site. Also, studies were carried out to find the best stabilizing agent among the one used during this study.
- Black cotton soil is susceptible to detrimental volume changes due to variation in moisture content. A clay mineral named Montomorillonite which has expanding lattice is responsible to such behavior of this soil. Because of its special structure and properties it is subjected to appreciable volume changes. These soils are covering a large area approximately around 20% of land in India. It is due to its extensive area sometimes it becomes impossible to alter the highway alignment to avoid this type of soil. In recent past years various methods of stabilizing these type of soils have been used with varied degree of results. Some of the common methods like lime stabilization, soil replacement, moisture control and, prewetting have been used. The research is still going on to find out suitable and perfect solution for the treatment of black cotton soil. According to recent research strong electrolytes can be used in place of lime due to their dissolving nature in water and readiness for adequate cation exchange .In the present research work experimental investigations were carried out by using fly ash, stone dust and ferric chloride to improve the properties of black cotton soil
Stabilization of soil is important to enhance the engineering properties of expansive soil like strength, volume stability and durability. The Black cotton soils are very hard when dry, but lose its strength completely when in wet condition Expansive soils (black cotton soil) are a worldwide problem that poses several challenges for civil Engineers. In this work an attempt has been made to stabilize the soil using Fly ash and Lime. Experimental work has been carried out with 5%, 10%, and 15% of Fly ash as well 4 %, 8 % and 12% of lime content.

Soil stabilisation is the process used for improving strength properties of soil. In india because of different tropographical regions, improving soil strength is now a difficult task. In the current study, black cotton soil stabilisation was accomplished using resources that were readily available in the area. The impact of lime and wood ash on the black cotton soil was examined in current study. Lime is widely used to stabilise black cotton soil, but further research is needed to determine how lime and wood ash interact. Lime and wood ash were combined to create 24 soil samples at various percentages. This study focuses on improving the physical properties of black cotton soil by stabilising its atterberg limits, standard proctor, unconfined compressive strength and California bearing ratios in accordance with Indian standards. Variation of lime, wood ash was separately and combined in study was investigated, with replacement rates of 2 %, 4 %,6 %, up to 8 %, and 8 %, 16 %, up to 24 %, respectively. When lime was added, it was found that OMC increased while MDD reduced. When the two were combined, OMC marginally increased while MDD also somewhat decreased. In both instances, the increment in CBR value tends to rise up to the optimum value and then begin to fall after it. The greatest increase in the lime case was 266.92 %. Additionally, when both additions were employed in various combinations, the ideal ratio of 6% lime and 16 % wood ash was discovered, increasing the CBR value by 594%. The UCS value of virgin black cotton soil, which was 191.7 kN/m 2 , increased to roughly 414.9 kN/m 2 for lime (6 % optimum). The optimal ratio of lime and wood ash (6 % and 16 %, respectively) in black cotton soil had a noticeable impact (514.5kN/m 2) on the soil's UCS value.

The properties of stabilized soil such as compaction characteristics, unconfined compressive strength and california bearing ratio were evaluated. Various percentage of Rice husk ash (5,10,15&20), Fly ash(10,15,20&25),Lime(2.4.6 & 8) have been used to improve the engineering properties of expansive black cotton soil. One ingredient at a time has been mixed with soil and index as well as engineering properties have been determined. The optimum content of each ingredient has been mixed together and the same properties have been evaluated. It has been concluded that liquid limit & plastic limit of soil is reduced by adding of any ingredient individually. However the improvement in shrinkage limit is not substantial. The standard proctor perimeter are influenced negatively i.e. OMC varies from 15% to 18% using RHA and Fly ash. The maximum dry density (MDD) is reduced from 1.71 to 1.57 gm/cc. The Ф value decreases from 19 ۫ ۫ to 10 ۫ and Cohesion value is increases from 0.5 to 1 kg/cm 2 using RHA The Ф value is decreases from 19 ۫ to 14 ۫ and Cohesion value increases from 0.5 to 1.1 kg/cm 2 using fly ash. The CBR value increases from 1.52% to 3.64% using Lime, it increases from 1.52% to1.70% using Fly ash and 1.52% to 1.70% using RHA. The CBR value is 12.74% at combination of RHA, fly ash and lime. The UCS value increases with increase in percentage of RHA, Fly ash and Lime. Swelling pressure is decreases at different percentage of Lime and Fly ash. Coefficient of permeability is decreases at different percentage of Lime and fly ash. Plasticity index of soil is decreases with increase the percentage of RHA, Fly ash and Lime. The optimum percentage of RHA , fly ash and lime is 8%,20% and 20%. On treated soil reduction in sub-base layer by 60% and reduction in DBM layer by 40.7% in comparison to pavement design on Untreated Black Cotton soil. Pavement cost also decreases on treated soil. The objective of this work is to estimate the effect of RHA, Fly ash and Lime on some geotechnical properties of black cotton soil, in order to determine the suitability of RHA, Fly ash and Lime for use as a modifier or stabilizer in the treatment of black cotton soil for roadwork. The aim of this work is to find the optimum percentage of RHA, Fly ash and Lime.

The black cotton soil is a type of problematic expansive soil which causes many problems in the construction of structures founded on them. It is having a swelling and impervious nature with poor geotechnical subgrade characteristics. In this research an approach is made towards the way of improvement in the various geotechnical properties of black cotton soil such as index properties, swelling characteristics, consolidation characteristics, hydraulic conductivity characteristics and strength characteristics by blending it with waste materials such as river sand, fly ash and marble dust. Hence, from these approaches, the impacting effect of waste materials on the environment reduced due to optimum utilization of these waste materials in the improvement in various properties of black cotton soil.
The expansive soil can imbibe a large amount of water and undergo high volume change, causing seasonal heave and shrinkage according to the availability of the water. This often causes distress and failure of the structure founded on such soil. A method such as preloading moisture control, replacement of the affected soil, and additives have been used to deal with the swelling problem associated with this soil. The literature reveals that studies were conducted to modify the behavior of expansive soil using additives such as lime, cement, fly ash, and other industrial wastes. The main purpose of this study is to find the meaningful application of the lime as an optical modifier of the property wherever required. The geotechnical characteristics deal with in this study include plasticity, compaction, consolidation, swelling, and strength. The variation of this property due to lime has been systematically investigated. Some of the properties like plasticity and strength are influenced much by a higher percentage of the lime. In this research paper, we have taken some geotechnical parameters to check the strength of the black cotton soil with lime, that geotechnical parameter is the liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index, Compaction test, California Bearing Ratio.
With rapid growth of population, fast urbanization and more construction of highway, buildings and other structures has resulted in reduction of good quality available land. The mechanical behavior of such nature of soil has to be improved by employing stabilization of Black Cotton Soil (BC soil) is studied by using Lime and Sawdust. Black Cotton soils are highly clayey soils (Montmorillonite clay mineral). The moisture changes in Black Cotton soils, compressibility and plasticity nature can be greatly improved with the addition of Lime and Sawdust. This paper includes the evaluation of soil properties like Optimum moisture content, dry density, and strength parameter (California Bearing ratio value). Different quantities of Lime and Sawdust (% by weight) are added to the BC soil and the experiments conducted on these soil mixes. The result shows that the use of Lime and Sawdust increases the California Bearing Ratio values i.e. the strength of soil to a great extent.
