Black cotton soil always shows the nature of swelling or shrinking ultimately. It’s depends on its moisture content. Because of this kind of characteristics of soil, the structures constructed over this type of soil may leads to problems of cracks development . It is there for necessary to stabilize the soil, Before any construction work carried out on this soil, it need to maximize its engineering properties. waste materials like fly ash from thermal power plant, Quarry dust is a waste from aggregate crushing industries and ground granulated blast-furnace slag from iron industry are in available at various parts of our country. These wastes not only create health problems. There is problem in disposal of these by-products. This project deals with a feasibility study carried out to find the suitability of using waste material i.e. fly ash, quarry dust and ground granulated blast-furnace slag as stabilizing material for improving the engineering properties of black cotton soil. Various tests like , Direct strength test , CBR ,free swell index will performing on the soil samples prepared by using mix proportion of black cotton soil with fly ash, quarry dust and GGBS with different percentages. On the basis of the results obtaining from these tests, it may be concluding that the strength of black cotton soil can be substantially improved by mixing with fly ash, quarry dust and GGBS as stabilizer materials
