Paper Details

xpansive soil have tremendous strength but it become very soft when it getting wet, it expands/swell dueto its mineralogical composition during its wet condition. It creates cracks or consolidated when it is dry. Thestability and performance of the pavements are greatly influenced by the sub grade and embankment as they serve asfoundations for pavements. Expansive soils can be found on almost all the continents on the Earth. Destructive resultscaused by this type of soils have been reported in many countries. In India, large tracts are covered by expansive soilsknown as black cotton soils. These soils cover an area of about 200,000 square miles and thus form about 20% of thetotal area of India.Expansion influences pavement failure due to failure in sub grade so it is required to detail study on stabilization of blackcotton soil. Different techniques using different material is available for black cotton soil. Here with attempt is made tosuggest suited material or technique required after test results of virgin soil and data collection. The Aim of this paperis to Stabilize Expansive soil of Sub Grade and to improve its properties using Industrial Waste materials.
