Influence of Fly ash Sand on Engineering Properties of Black Cotton Soil

Abstract
Expansive soil is treacherous from civil engineering construction point of view as it is volumetrically unstable due to seasonal moisture variation. Its strength decreases and compressibility increases tremendously on wetting. To counteract the problems of the expansive soil, different innovative foundation techniques and stabilization with various additives have been suggested. Soil improvement using the waste materials like slags, fly ash, rise husk ash etc. in geotechnical engineering has been in practice from environment point of view. With this view point in the present investigation an attempt has been made to study the influence of fly ash – sand on engineering properties of Black Cotton Soil. The study was carried out by proper grading and mixing of black cotton soil – fly ash – sand in specified percentage by weight. Results of the study have been found to be quite encouraging.
