Abstract |
|
Fly Ash generation and utilization both are expected to increase but the gap between them will also increase. Researchers are finding out new area for utilization of Fly Ash to minimize its environmental impact. One such area is Geotechnical Engineering. Black Cotton Soil is a problematic soil with respect to Soil-Structure interaction. In this paper, various properties of Black Cotton Soil like pH, plasticity index, volume change behavior and dry density are studied after mixing Fly Ash in different proportion and are presented. It can be concluded that 30% Fly Ash by weight mixed with Black Cotton soil gives optimum result for most of the properties. |
