A Review Paper on Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil by Locally Available Soil (Sehra Mitti) of Barghat Area of Madhya Pradesh

soil stabilization alters the physical properties of soil in order to improve its strength, durability, or other qualities to meet the engineering requirements. It can be achieved by adding suitable admixtures like cement, lime and waste material like fly ash, gypsum etc or by other suitable stabilization method. The cost of adding these additives has tremendously increased in past few years; therefore there is need for the development of other kinds of soil additives such as plastic, bamboo and locally available soil (Sehra mitti), these new techniques of soil stabilization using locally available soil can be effectively used to solve the challenges of society, thereby reducing the construction cost. Use of sehra mitti will reduce the time and cost of the construction through which effective use of available natural resources take place and it will reduce the harmful effects to environment caused by artificial additives. A paper is presented here to focus on soil stabilization methods by using locally available soil of Barghat area of Madhya Pradesh.
