Experimental Study on Black Cotton Soil Stabilization Using GGBS
About 20% of the land mass in India consist of black cotton soil (BCS), especially in the central part of country. It is the most problematic soils as it shows major volume change due to alteration in the moisture content. Soil is an integral part of civil engineering construction. If the stability of soil is not adequate for supporting the structural load, the properties of soil should be improved by soil stabilization technique. In present situation as the industrialization and urbanization are taking place, it generates many wastes. Hence, in this study, utilization of waste, i.e. ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), for improving the soil properties is made. Addition of GGBS reduces free swell, plasticity index and maximum dry density. Unconfined compressive strength is observed to be increased with addition of GGBS. This facilitates the effective use of industrial waste for improving the strength of soil and also as a cheap alternative of additive.
