Objectives of this study
• To improve these characteristics such as low strength, swelling and shrinkage etc.
• The study aimed to analyse the effect of stabilization on the variation of soil consistency.
Background
• There are three basic types of soil naturally occurring in this area: sand, silt and clay.
• Clay soils are generally classified as "expansive. “ This means that a given amount of clay will
tend to expand (increase in volume) as it absorbs water and it will shrink (lessen in volume) as
water is drawn away.
• The effects can be dramatic if expansive soils supporting structures are allowed to become too
wet or too dry.
• Building structures, foundations, driveways and walkways may crack and heave as the
underlying expansive soils become wet and swell.
• Sometimes the cracking and heaving appear temporary as the soils dry and shrink back to their
original position.
• Civil engineering projects located in areas with soft or weak soils have traditionally
incorporated improvement of soil properties by using cement and lime.
• Use of fly ash as a ground improvement soil admixture, when found viable, will be effective
in terms of cost and a good approach to the environment to preserve and minimize
accumulation of industrial waste.
• This study is performed to obtain geotechnical properties of fly ash for its application in the
stabilization of soft soil.
LABORATORY TEST AND ANALYSIS
• Sieve analysis
• Shrinkage limit.
• Plastic limit.
• Liquid limit
• Atterbergs Limit Test
• consistency limit of soil
• Unconfined compression test.
• Standard proctor test

CONCLUSION
Since dangerous soils are an overall issue, there is an expanding interest for procedures to
improve their conduct. inactions like Greece with their economies in emergency (low per capital
salary) or having low concrete and lime creation, can utilize the adjustment with sand method in
request to improve soils to be utilized as asphalt subgrades. in light of the exploratory outcomes
on clayey soil settled with (sand, cement, geotestile ) it could be inferred that:
• Soil permeability has been improved by blending the natural sand with black cotton soil.
• It has been observed from the experiment that the unconfined compression strength has been
improved therefore compressibility has been increased.
• Resistance is increased as blend percentage is increased against permeability.
• Even pavement thickness will reduce if we blend the natural sand effectively.
• Soil cement provided strength and durability which is outstanding value as a base/sub-base
material. Also, it is best alternative material for low-cost structure.
• Soil cement benefits the pavement by distributing the load uniformly, eliminate base rutting
and reduces deflection as well as moisture problem.
• The OMC of mixture (soil-cement) increase with increasing of cement content.
• The UCS of stabilized soil increases with increasing the quantity of cement in a mixture.
• The UCS of stabilized soil increases with increasing the curing period.
