Abstract
Plastic behaviour of soil is an element of concern in civil engineering as it highly affects construction design. Soils with high plasticity index may result in sudden and unpredictable structural failures due to volumetric changes in soil by moisture infiltration through surface cracks. The Aim of this Research Paper is to find the Plasticity Index of the soil strata around Hussain Sagar Lake which is proposed for the construction of World’s tallest building. Atterberg’s limits for various samples collected at suitable intervals at the proposed site were calculated and then the plasticity index was found. It was found Imperative to modify the Plastic Characteristics of soil by using appropriate additives to make it suitable for the prestigious project, various additives were added to the collected soil samples and corresponding inferences were obtained regarding the soil suitability. This aspect has been further discussed in this Research Paper. Keyword: Plasticity Index, Volumetric Changes, Additives. --------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------
