Abstract:

This paper has been focused on the Black cotton soils which shrink when it becomes dry and shrink swell when come in contact with moisture. The lot of damage were occurring of numerous structures founded on previous literature. The limited techniques have been available to improve the engineering properties of black cotton soil to make it suitable for construction. The waste material (cement kiln dust stabilizer) has been used for stabilization of Black cotton soil. The Black cotton soil has been collected from Shusant Golf City Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh India. The sample has been tested from different percentages of cement kiln dust (CKD) i.e., 4%, 8%, 12% and 16%. Finally evaluating soil properties of black cotton soil by using numerous tests like as Atterberg’s limits, specific gravity, California bearing ratio (CBR) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests. Finally check the amount of cement kiln dust at which sample of soil and cement kiln dust gives optimum values of CBR and UCS.
