Abstract:

The clayey type of soil is expansive, swelling and shrinkage type of soil. Due to these types of the properties behavior of clayey soil or black cotton soil has been changed dramatically. Based on observation we can say that the changes are due to reaction with water. Also the large amount of black cotton soil is available all around the world which leads to a waste of land for construction uses. So we have tried to resolve this problem by stabilizing clayey soil by waste material marble powder and brick dust. We have stabilized a clayey soil by replacement of 30 % of soil to the both stabilizing agents marble powder and brick dust. The combination has been used of 70 % soil + 30% stabilizing agent. The analysis includes the comparison of clayey soil after stabilization with the available soil parameters and properties. The comparison includes total properties consideration by carried out compaction test, atterber's limit test, linear shrinkage test, and swelling test on stabilized soil. From the above mentioned test its been observed that swelling.
