Abstract :

Rapid development is going on in the construction industry. For the better and stable construction subgrade soil should have good strength to retain the upcoming load from the superstructure. Black cotton soil which is commonly found in many places is very weak in strength and it has the high-volume change properties for the environmental factors as it has high affinity towards water. As Black cotton soil consists of Montmorillonite mineral which has very weak bond and it shows high swelling and shrinking behaviour when it comes in contact with water. Black cotton soil needs to be replaced or these soils has to be stabilized for the construction purpose. For the stabilization’s additives like RBI Grade 81 and Flyash are used to reduce the construction time and cost.
