Abstract

Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil (BC soil) is studied by using Lime and Fly ash. BC soils are highly clayey soils
(Montmorillonite clay mineral).The moisture changes in BC soils, compressibility and plasticity nature can be greatly
improved with the addition of Lime and Fly ash. This paper includes the evaluation of soils properties like liquid limit and
plastic limit. Different quantities of Lime and Fly ash (% weight) are added to the BC soil and the experiments conducted on
these soil mixes. The result shows that the use of Lime and Fly ash increases the soil stabilization.
