Evaluation of Dry Density for Black Cotton Soil Using Rice Husk Ash

Abstract

Abstract: Stabilization is a broad term that refers to the various methods used to improve the engineering performance of a soil and its application in a variety of engineering works. Soil stabilisation is a major concern for civil engineers today, both for road construction and for increasing soil strength or stability, which reduces construction costs. Soil stabilisation is the chemical or physical modification of soil properties to improve the soil's engineering quality. The primary goal of soil stabilisation is to increase the soil's bearing capacity, resistance to weathering processes, and permeability. Due to the rapid growth of urbanization and industrialization, minimizing industrial waste. Because of the rapid growth of urbanization and industrialization, reducing industrial waste has become a major issue in recent years. To encounter this innovative and nontraditional research on waste utilization is becoming increasingly important. Soil improvement using waste materials such as slags, rice husk ash, and silica fume has been recommended from an environmental standpoint in geotechnical engineering. This paper examines the effects of blast furnace slag, fly ash, and micro silica added to black cotton soil to improve soil properties. In addition, this paper provides a review of the use of various solid waste materials for soft soil stabilisation. However, there are numerous methods and techniques available for stabilising these soils. This study describes how waste materials can be used to stabilise soft soil
