Abstract:
The results of laboratory investigations on the influence of Common Salt (NaCl) on the engineering properties of black cotton soils are presented in this research paper. Black Cotton soil was mixed with Common Salt (NaCl) at 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8%. Common Salt (NaCl) content (by dry weight of soil) in order to establish the soil stabilizing potentials. Common Salt (NaCl) increased the Maximum Dry Density, MDD, of the soil by 1.64 g/cc to 1.79 g/cc and reduced the Optimum Moisture Content, OMC, 21.16% to 14.95%. Soaked CBR increased with increase in Common Salt (NaCl) 1.43% to 3.10%. Common Salt increased the unconfined compressive strength of black cotton soil 73.54 KN/M2 to 119.64 KN/M2 and Common Salt also effected Triaxial strength parameters. The results indicate that there is a potential in the use of Common Salt (NaCl) to strengthen Black cotton soils.
