Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil Using Waste Foundry Sand & Lime
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Black cotton soil is one of the major soil deposits of India. They exhibit high swelling and shrinking when exposed to changes in moisture content and hence have been found to be most troublesome from engineering considerations. Stabilization occurs when WFS & lime is added to black cotton soil and a pozzolanic reaction takes place. The WFS & hydrated lime reacts with the clay particles and permanently transforms them into a strong cementious matrix. Black cotton soil showing low to medium swelling potential from collage campas Maharashtra was used for determining the basic properties of the soil. Changes in various soil properties such as Liquid limit, Plastic Limit, Maximum Dry Density, Optimum Moisture Content, Differential Free Swell, Swelling Pressure and California Bearing Ratio were studied.
