Abstract :

The black cotton soils undergo excessive volume changes, making their use in the construction of civil engineering projects very difficult. The properties of the black cotton soils can be altered in many ways viz. mechanical, thermal, and chemical means. Therefore, soil stabilization techniques are necessary to ensure the good stability of soil so that it can successfully sustain the load of the superstructure especially in the case of soil that is highly active; also, it saves a lot of time. In the present work, an attempt has been made to study the compaction and CBR characteristics tests of black cotton soil mixing with different percentages of lime, Micro silica, and Recron-3s Fiber with a view to determine the optimum percentage. Test results show that stabilizing Expansive soils with lime, Micro silica, and imparting Recron-3s fibers enhance the strength.
