Description

Black soils are good for agriculture but they are not suitable for foundation of building or subgrade for road pavement. On such soil suitable construction practices and sophisticated methods need to be adopted. In this experimental work the soil was stabilized with Rice Husk Ash in proportion of 10%, 20% and 30%. Following test are conducted on Soil sample, soil Consistency limits, Specific gravity, Unconfined Compression test, etc. When addition of Rice Husk ash, it shows that the Index and Mechanical Properties of soil has improved.
