Abstract:Â Black cotton soil is fertile and very good for agriculture, but it is not so good for civil engineering works. Major source of power generation in India is the thermal power plants producing more than 150 million tons of fly ash annually as a by-product, due to combustion of the pulverized coal posing not only disposal problems but also serious health and environmental problems. To control these problems, the most commonly used method is addition of fly ash as a stabilizing agent usually used in combination with soil. In this study, fly ashes were used to investigate the effect of fly ash on the various potential of BC soil. Based on the favorable results, it was concluded that the fly ash could be successfully use as an effective additive in stabilization of problematic soils.
