Abstract

The foundation is the most important part of any structure and to ensure that the foundation is stable, the soil beneath has to be strong, thus playing a critical role. Expansive soils are weaker than conventional sols, and India has almost 20% of expansive soil cover. An attempt has been made to study the stabilization of an expansive soil such as black cotton soil using a combination of rice husk ash, lime and stone dust in different proportions.
