Soil Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil by Using Granite Powder

Abstract

The Black Cotton soil is known as extensive soil due to its property of swelling and expansiveness with influence of friction humidity in soil. It also shows loss geste when dried. Due to these parcels the strength characteristics are also affected negatively. The black cotton soil is also extensively available in all around the world which leads us to wastage of land for construction uses to resolve this problem we can replace the extensive soil bynon-expansive soil which is also a expensive option so in this present paper we've stabilize a soil using waste material named marble greasepaint which is a derivate of marble diligence. For the determination of parcels, we've performed atterberg’s limit test, flyspeck size distribution by wet sieve analysis, water content test, specific graveness test, OMC and MDD test on the sample of determinedness greasepaint. We've marked a great enhancement in engineering parcels of black cotton soil by stabilizing it with 5, 10 and 15, of relief by determinedness greasepaint. It also gives large diminishment in swelling and loss geste of soil.
