In India black cotton soil is on the market in many countries and it covers around 20 – 25% of area. Thanks to their moisture content variation characteristics they cause severe damage to foundations and super structures of buildings which results in high economic loss. Thus the advancement within the engineering properties of black cotton soil is important to extend its strength, stability and sturdiness, because the conventional soil stabilizers like gravel, sand etc. are depleting and becoming expensive day by day at a really rapid pace, so it becomes necessary to appear towards for alternative eco-friendly stabilizers as their substitute. The waste cement is proven to be very effective and economical. Another advantage of the waste cement is it's environment friendly nature. The effect of waste cement on the unconfined compressive strength, Optimum moisture content(omc) and Maximum dry density(mdd) values, California bearing ratio(cbr) value and on the atterberg’s limits were studied. The waste cement treated soil showing significant improvement in unconfined compressive strength and CBR values .MDD value increases and OMC value also increases. There's an improvement in plastic limit values but liquid limit value decreases.

Waste cement, Optimum moisture content, Maximum dry density, California bearing ratio, Unconfined compressive strength.
