Effect of Industrial Waste on Consistency Limits of Black Cotton Soil

Ram S. Wanare

Abstract


The knowledge of soil Stabilization in geotechnical engineering has been reported by many researchers. Journal articles and text books on stabilization technology are available to the students, practicing and consulting engineers in the field of geotechnical engineering. This state of the art brings, up to date trends in stabilization practice with the main focus on stabilization materials. The objective of study is to evaluate the feasibility of industrial waste, brick kiln dust and fly ash as soil stabilization material. To investigate the effect of brick kiln dust and fly ash on engineering properties of black-cotton soil. A series of laboratory experiments have been conducted on black-cotton soil samples mixed with different percentage of stabilizing material of brick kiln dust and fly ash by weight of dry soil.  The test result shows the significant increment in CBR value in soil consisting brick kiln dust and fly ash, which found useful in construction of sub-bases and sub grades for road pavements. Present work consists of testing of soil to determine the optimum percentage of brick kiln dust and fly ash.
