Abstract

Black cotton soil (BCS) is an expansive soil with high swelling and shrinkage characteristics, causing significant challenges in construction. This study reviews various stabilization techniques using chemical stabilizers and sustainable materials such as shredded waste tyre rubber and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS). The effects on engineering properties like Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR), and compaction are analyzed. Results indicate that cement and lime improve strength, while rubber enhances flexibility. Hybrid stabilization provides superior performance, with optimum rubber content around 5%. The study highlights sustainable, cost-effective solutions for improving black cotton soil in engineering applications.

KEYWORDS: Black cotton soil, stabilization, shredded rubber, GGBS, CBR and UCS
