In the field of the geotechnical engineering in general the soil stabilization in particular clayey soil, are distributed all over world. In India black cotton soil is available in many states and if covers about the (0.8x106km2) area near about 20% of surface area. Due to their moisture content variation characteristics they cause severe damage to foundations and super structures of the buildings leading to huge economic loss. The globally growing demand of cement results in collection of kiln dust from cement plants. The disposal of this fine dust is very difficult and poses an environmental threat. Main objective of this research is to utilize the industrial waste like cement kiln dust to improve the engineering characteristics of the black cotton soil. This study presents a research review on cement kiln dust (CKD) usage in soil and waste utilization and the results of experimental investigation on its usage in soil stabilization. Soil samples were tested with the cement kiln dust from 0% to 25% of dry weight of the soil, samples were prepared and results showed a significant increase in soaked California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Unconfined Compressive strength values. DFS of black cotton soil reduced from (31%) to (5%). From the compaction tests result increased in maximum dry density (MDD) from 1.73 gm/cc to 2.03gm/cc and decrease in optimum moisture content (OMC) from 20.04% to 10.94%. Permeability increased from 4.80x10-4 cm/s to 1.43x10-3 cm/s. In this investigation it can be seen that cement kiln dust has tendency to improve the engineering characteristics of black cotton soil.
