Abstract:Â The present paper deals with the evaluation of the mechanical properties of black cotton soil mixed with mill scale in varying proportions and comparing the same with the results of pure black cotton soil. The mechanical properties of mill scale and black cotton soil are individually determined first and then the two are combined in varying proportions. The properties like OMC and MDD, Un confined Compressive Strength, and CBR are evaluated in different percentages of Mill scale varying from 3% to 21% with an interval of 3% i.e. 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, 15%, 18%, 21%. Added to dry weight of soil It is found that mixing mill scale in varying proportions increases the Bearing Capacity of the soil, strength characteristics.
Keywords : Black cotton soil, Mill Scale, UCC,CBR.
