Abstract
Traditional stabilizers like cement, lime and others have been efficient and effective in soil stabilization but their rising cost has led to the research in granite dust and glass fiber to be used as an additional material in soil stabilization. The usage of black cotton soil in construction has continually been a difficult task for the engineers as the structure resting on it will fail without any cracks and damage. In this project an attempt has been made to stabilize the black cotton soil by using granite dust and glass fiber. An experimental study on geotechnical properties of soil had been carried out with the addition of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% of granite dust and 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% of glass fiber to the soil. Results shown that the addition of 25% granite dust and 4% glass fiber in the black cotton soil significantly increases the Geotechnical property of soil.
