Abstract
The black cotton soil is known as expansive type of soil which expands suddenly and start swelling when it comes in contact with
moisture. Due to this property of soil the strength and other properties of soil are very poor. To improve its properties it is necessary
to stabilize he soil by different stabilizers. Expansive type of soil shows unpredictable behavior with different kind of stabilizers. Soil
stabilization is a process to treat a soil to maintain, alter or improve the performance of soil. In this study, the potential of burnt brick
dust as stabilizing additive to expansive soil is evaluated for the improving engineering properties of expansive soil. The evaluation
involves the determination of the swelling potential, linear shrinkage, atterberg’s limits, & compaction test of expansive soil in its
natural state as well as when mixed with varying proportion of burnt brick dust (from 30 to 50%). The practices have been performed
on three proportions 30%, 40%, and 50% with expansive soil. The research result shows considerable reduction in swelling of
expansive soil .With increasing amount of stabilizer swelling decreases. Maximum decrement in swelling has been noted in 50% of
replacement of soil by brick dust. Also by increasing stabilizing content linear shrinkage reduces. Maximum decrement in shrinkage
has been noted in 50% replacement of soil by stabilizer. Maximum dry density of soil is improving and optimum moisture content is
decreasing with increasing stabilizing content. For increasing content of stabilizing agent brick dust atterberg’s limit values are also
decreasing.

1. INTRODUCTION
“Expansive soil is commonly known as black cotton soil
because of their colour and their suitability for growing
cotton.” It starts swell or shrink excessively due to change in
moisture content. When an engineering structure is associated
with black cotton soil, it experiences either settlement or
heave depending on the stress level and the soil swelling
pressure. Design and construction of civil engineering
structures on and with expansive soils is a challenging task for
geotechnical engineers. The solution of this soil is stabilization
with appropriate stabilizing agent. The black cotton soil
contains high percentage of montomonillonite which renders
high degree of expansiveness. These property results cracks in
soil without any warning. The behaviour of black cotton soil is
uncertain when subjected to moisture content. The strength
properties of these soils change according to the amount of
water contained in the voids of the soils. The engineering
behaviour of fine-grained soils depends on their water content.
Liquid limit and plastic limit are important water contents as
well as two important parameters of plasticity index, which is
the main index parameter of the classification of fine-grained
soils. Plasticity index has also been used in correlation with
many other engineering properties like internal friction angle,
undrained shear strength, lateral earth pressure over
consolidation ratio etc. Shrinkage limit is also an important
parameter in which soils tend to shrink when they lose
moisture. [1]
One of the challenges faced by civil engineers is the design of
foundation for sites having expansive Soils. Most economical
and effective method for stabilizing expansive soils is using
admixtures that present change in volume. Many problems
arise from the industrial development. One of them is the
proper and effective disposal of its waste. Generally, industrial
waste causes many serious environment problems. So
utilization of industrial waste in construction industry is the
best way to dispose it. Using industrial waste in construction
industry is beneficial in many ways such as disposal of waste,
saving biodiversities, increasing soil properties like strength,
reduce permeability, etc., preserve the natural soil and making
economical structures. Expansive soils contain the clay
mineral montinorillonite with claystones, shales, sedimentary
and residual soils. Clay exists in the moisture deficient,
unsaturated conditions. [2]

2. DAMAGE ANALYSIS & PROBLEM DEFINED
FOR EXPANSIVE TYPE OF SOIL [1]
Black cotton soil is one of the major regional soil deposits in
India, covering an area of about 3.0 lacks sq.km. Expansive
soils are problematic soils because of their inherent potential
to undergo volume changes corresponding to changes in the
moisture regime. When they imbibe water during monsoon,
they expand and on evaporation thereof in summer, they
shrink. Because of this alternate swelling and shrinkage,
structures founded on them are severally damaged. The annual
cost of damage to the civil engineering structures is estimated
at £150 million in the UK, $1000 million in the USA and
many billions of pounds worldwide.
Infrastructural developments in areas where problem soils are
identified have been a major concern to the engineer. As such,
infrastructure like roads, buildings, bridges to mention but a
few within such areas normally undergo foundation problems,
that lead to a reduction in the life span of such facilities. Since
there is an increasing shortage of good construction materials
within localities where problem soils are encountered in
addition to the high cost of haulage, what readily comes to
mind is making the unsuitable materials fit for use by
modification. It is important either to remove the existing soil
and replace it with a non-expansive soil or to improve the
engineering properties of the existing soil by stabilization.
Replacing the existing soil might not be a feasible option;
therefore, the best available approach is to stabilize the soil
with suitable stabilizers.
Various types of soil stabilizers (i.e. fly ash, cement kiln dust,
lime) and locally available materials (i.e., slate dust, rice husk
ash) are being used for stabilization of soil. However, the
selection of a particular type of stabilizer depends upon the
type of sub grade soil and availability of stabilizers. Several
researchers have reported the benefits of stabilizers for
modifying the engineering properties of soil.
3. STABILIZATION [3]
“Soil stabilization is a technique aimed at increasing or
maintaining the stability of soil mass and chemical alteration
of soil to enhance their engineering properties.”
Stabilization allows for the establishment of design criteria as
well as the determination of the proper chemical additive and
admixture rate to be used in order to achieve the desired
engineering properties. Benefits of the stabilization process
can include higher resistance values, reduction in plasticity,
lower permeability, reduction of pavement thickness,
elimination of excavation material hauling or handling.
Stabilization of expansive soils with admixtures controls the
potential of soils for a change in volume, and improves the
strength of soils.
Soil stabilization is done by various methods by adding fly
ash, rise husk ash, chemicals, fibers, adding lime, by different
geo materials like geo synthetic, geo grid and geo form. Soil
stabilization allows engineers to distribute a larger load with
less material over a longer life cycle.
3.1 ADVANTAGES OF SOIL STABILIZATION
1) Stabilized soil functions as a working platform for
the project
2) Stabilization waterproofs the soil
3) Stabilization improves soil strength
4) Stabilization helps reduce soil volume change due to
temperature or moisture
5) Stabilization improves soil workability
6) Stabilization reduces dust in work environment
7) Stabilization upgrades marginal materials
8) Stabilization improves durability
9) Stabilization dries wet soils
10) Stabilization conserves aggregate materials
11) Stabilization reduces cost
4. REVIEW
4.1 Mine Tailing Mixtures on Lime Treated Soil [4]
H.N.Ramesh, A.J.Krishnaiah and S.Shilpa shet from
Department of Civil Engineering, UVCE, Bangalore
University, Bangalore-56, India in april-2013 conducted tests
on lime treated black cotton soil by adding mine tailing
mixtures as a stabilizing agent.
Liquid limit, plastic limit and shrinkage limit of Black cotton
soil and mine tailings (MT) mixtures treated with lime are
investigated and are presented in this paper. In the present
investigation an attempt has been made to utilize the mine
tailings in geotechnical applications and to evaluate the index
properties of black cotton soil and mine tailings mixture
treated with lime. The test results indicate that the progressive
decrease in liquid limit, decrease in plastic limit and increase
in shrinkage limit with curing time. Liquid limit is used for the
estimation of compression index which is useful for the
settlement analysis of soils.
4.2 Sisal Fibres [5]
Santhi Krishna k. And sayida M.K from department of civil
engineering, collage of engineering Trivandrum, kerala
analysed the behaviour of black cotton soil by reinforcing it
from sisal fibres.
A large part of Central India and a portion of South India are
covered with black cotton soils. These soils have high
swelling and shrinkage characteristics and extremely low CBR
value and shear strength. Hence, there is need for
improvement of these properties. The present study is aimed at
determining the behavior of black cotton soil reinforced with

sisal fibre in a random manner. The soil used is a type of black
cotton soil collected from Chittur in Palaghat District. The
fibres are cut to different lengths (1.5cm, 2.0cm, 2.5cm and
3.0cm) and mixed randomly with soil in varying percentages
(0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.00%) by dry weight of soil and
compacted to maximum dry density at optimum moisture
content. The test results indicate a reduction in the maximum
dry density and the optimum moisture content of soil due to
the addition of sisal fibre.
4.3 Fly-ash Stabilization [6]
Erdal Cokca (2001):- Effect of Fly ash on expansive soil was
studied by Erdal Cokca, There are two major classes of fly
ash, class C & F. He carried out investigations using Soma
Fly-ash and Tuncbilek fly-ash and added it to expansive soil at
0-25%. Specimens with fly-ash were cured for 7 & 28 days
after which they were subjected to oedometer free swell tests.
And his experimental findings confirmed that the plasticity
index, activity and swelling potential of the samples decreased
with increasing percent stabilizer and curing time and the
optimum content of fly ash in decreasing the swell potential
was found to be 20%. The changes in the physical properties
and swelling potential are a result of additional silt size
particles to some extent. He concluded that both high –
calcium and low calcium class C fly ashes can be
recommended as effective stabilizing agents for improvement
of expansive soils.
4.4 Rice Husk Ash, Lime, Gypsum [7]
Koteswara Rao .D and Anusha .M from department of civil
engineering of University College of Engineering JNTUK
KAKINADA, A.P. has conducted an experimental study on
stabilization of black cotton soil with rice husk ash, lime and
gypsum. This study, resulted in considerable improvement in
the strength characteristics of the expansive soil. Liquid limit
of the soil has been decreased by 22% for 20% RHA+5%
Lime. Free Swell Index has been reduced by 88% for 20%
RHA+5%Lime. UCS of the expansive soil has been increased
by 548% for 20% RHA+5% lime + 3% Gypsum after 28 days
curing. CBR value was increased by 1350% for 20%
RHA+5% lime + 3% Gypsum after 14 days curing. There is
remarkable influence on strength and CBR values for 20%
RHA + 5% Lime + 3% Gypsum which is an optimum
percentage.
5. PROPERTIES OF BLACK COTTON SOIL
The expansive type of soil is in black color and also it has
ability to grow cotton it is known as black cotton soil. This
type of soil expand suddenly when came in contact of
moisture and start swell and shrink when the moisture is
removed so due to its swell- shrink behavior it is a very
problematic soil for consideration of its use as a construction
material.

8. CONCLUSIONS
From the results it is concluded that the impact of brick dust
on black cotton soil is positive. By replacing soil by half of its
dry weight by brick dust it gives maximum improvement in
the engineering properties of black cotton soil. So use of brick
dust is preferable for stabilization because it gives positive
results as stabilizer and also it is a waste utilization.

Effect of burnt brick dust on engineering properties on expansive soil

  • 1. IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 03 Issue: 04 | Apr-2014, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 433 EFFECT OF BURNT BRICK DUST ON ENGINEERING PROPERTIES ON EXPANSIVE SOIL Sachin N. Bhavsar1 , Hiral B. Joshi2 , Priyanka k. Shrof3 , Ankit J. Patel4 1 B.E. final year, Civil Department, SVBIT, Gujarat, India 2 B.E. final year, Civil Department, SVBIT, Gujarat, India 3 B.E. final year, Civil Department, SVBIT, Gujarat, India 4 M.Tech (Structural Design), Assistant Professor, SVBIT, Gujarat, India Abstract The black cotton soil is known as expansive type of soil which expands suddenly and start swelling when it comes in contact with moisture. Due to this property of soil the strength and other properties of soil are very poor. To improve its properties it is necessary to stabilize he soil by different stabilizers. Expansive type of soil shows unpredictable behavior with different kind of stabilizers. Soil stabilization is a process to treat a soil to maintain, alter or improve the performance of soil. In this study, the potential of burnt brick dust as stabilizing additive to expansive soil is evaluated for the improving engineering properties of expansive soil. The evaluation involves the determination of the swelling potential, linear shrinkage, atterberg’s limits, & compaction test of expansive soil in its natural state as well as when mixed with varying proportion of burnt brick dust (from 30 to 50%). The practices have been performed on three proportions 30%, 40%, and 50% with expansive soil. The research result shows considerable reduction in swelling of expansive soil .With increasing amount of stabilizer swelling decreases. Maximum decrement in swelling has been noted in 50% of replacement of soil by brick dust. Also by increasing stabilizing content linear shrinkage reduces. Maximum decrement in shrinkage has been noted in 50% replacement of soil by stabilizer. Maximum dry density of soil is improving and optimum moisture content is decreasing with increasing stabilizing content. For increasing content of stabilizing agent brick dust atterberg’s limit values are also decreasing. Keywords: expansive soil, stabilization, burnt brick dust, engineering properties -----------------------------------------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION “Expansive soil is commonly known as black cotton soil because of their colour and their suitability for growing cotton.” It starts swell or shrink excessively due to change in moisture content. When an engineering structure is associated with black cotton soil, it experiences either settlement or heave depending on the stress level and the soil swelling pressure. Design and construction of civil engineering structures on and with expansive soils is a challenging task for geotechnical engineers. The solution of this soil is stabilization with appropriate stabilizing agent. The black cotton soil contains high percentage of montomonillonite which renders high degree of expansiveness. These property results cracks in soil without any warning. The behaviour of black cotton soil is uncertain when subjected to moisture content. The strength properties of these soils change according to the amount of water contained in the voids of the soils. The engineering behaviour of fine-grained soils depends on their water content. Liquid limit and plastic limit are important water contents as well as two important parameters of plasticity index, which is the main index parameter of the classification of fine-grained soils. Plasticity index has also been used in correlation with many other engineering properties like internal friction angle, undrained shear strength, lateral earth pressure over consolidation ratio etc. Shrinkage limit is also an important parameter in which soils tend to shrink when they lose moisture. [1] One of the challenges faced by civil engineers is the design of foundation for sites having expansive Soils. Most economical and effective method for stabilizing expansive soils is using admixtures that present change in volume. Many problems arise from the industrial development. One of them is the proper and effective disposal of its waste. Generally, industrial waste causes many serious environment problems. So utilization of industrial waste in construction industry is the best way to dispose it. Using industrial waste in construction industry is beneficial in many ways such as disposal of waste, saving biodiversities, increasing soil properties like strength, reduce permeability, etc., preserve the natural soil and making economical structures. Expansive soils contain the clay mineral montinorillonite with claystones, shales, sedimentary and residual soils. Clay exists in the moisture deficient, unsaturated conditions. [2]

DAMAGE ANALYSIS & PROBLEM DEFINED FOR EXPANSIVE TYPE OF SOIL [1] Black cotton soil is one of the major regional soil deposits in India, covering an area of about 3.0 lacks sq.km. Expansive soils are problematic soils because of their inherent potential to undergo volume changes corresponding to changes in the moisture regime. When they imbibe water during monsoon, they expand and on evaporation thereof in summer, they shrink. Because of this alternate swelling and shrinkage, structures founded on them are severally damaged. The annual cost of damage to the civil engineering structures is estimated at £150 million in the UK, $1000 million in the USA and many billions of pounds worldwide. Infrastructural developments in areas where problem soils are identified have been a major concern to the engineer. As such, infrastructure like roads, buildings, bridges to mention but a few within such areas normally undergo foundation problems, that lead to a reduction in the life span of such facilities. Since there is an increasing shortage of good construction materials within localities where problem soils are encountered in addition to the high cost of haulage, what readily comes to mind is making the unsuitable materials fit for use by modification. It is important either to remove the existing soil and replace it with a non-expansive soil or to improve the engineering properties of the existing soil by stabilization. Replacing the existing soil might not be a feasible option; therefore, the best available approach is to stabilize the soil with suitable stabilizers. Various types of soil stabilizers (i.e. fly ash, cement kiln dust, lime) and locally available materials (i.e., slate dust, rice husk ash) are being used for stabilization of soil. However, the selection of a particular type of stabilizer depends upon the type of sub grade soil and availability of stabilizers. Several researchers have reported the benefits of stabilizers for modifying the engineering properties of soil. 3. STABILIZATION [3] “Soil stabilization is a technique aimed at increasing or maintaining the stability of soil mass and chemical alteration of soil to enhance their engineering properties.” Stabilization allows for the establishment of design criteria as well as the determination of the proper chemical additive and admixture rate to be used in order to achieve the desired engineering properties. Benefits of the stabilization process can include higher resistance values, reduction in plasticity, lower permeability, reduction of pavement thickness, elimination of excavation material hauling or handling. Stabilization of expansive soils with admixtures controls the potential of soils for a change in volume, and improves the strength of soils. Soil stabilization is done by various methods by adding fly ash, rise husk ash, chemicals, fibers, adding lime, by different geo materials like geo synthetic, geo grid and geo form. Soil stabilization allows engineers to distribute a larger load with less material over a longer life cycle. 3.1 ADVANTAGES OF SOIL STABILIZATION 1) Stabilized soil functions as a working platform for the project 2) Stabilization waterproofs the soil 3) Stabilization improves soil strength 4) Stabilization helps reduce soil volume change due to temperature or moisture 5) Stabilization improves soil workability 6) Stabilization reduces dust in work environment 7) Stabilization upgrades marginal materials 8) Stabilization improves durability 9) Stabilization dries wet soils 10) Stabilization conserves aggregate materials 11) Stabilization reduces cost 4. REVIEW 4.1 Mine Tailing Mixtures on Lime Treated Soil [4] H.N.Ramesh, A.J.Krishnaiah and S.Shilpa shet from Department of Civil Engineering, UVCE, Bangalore University, Bangalore-56, India in april-2013 conducted tests on lime treated black cotton soil by adding mine tailing mixtures as a stabilizing agent. Liquid limit, plastic limit and shrinkage limit of Black cotton soil and mine tailings (MT) mixtures treated with lime are investigated and are presented in this paper. In the present investigation an attempt has been made to utilize the mine tailings in geotechnical applications and to evaluate the index properties of black cotton soil and mine tailings mixture treated with lime. The test results indicate that the progressive decrease in liquid limit, decrease in plastic limit and increase in shrinkage limit with curing time. Liquid limit is used for the estimation of compression index which is useful for the settlement analysis of soils. 4.2 Sisal Fibres [5] Santhi Krishna k. And sayida M.K from department of civil engineering, collage of engineering Trivandrum, kerala analysed the behaviour of black cotton soil by reinforcing it from sisal fibres. A large part of Central India and a portion of South India are covered with black cotton soils. These soils have high swelling and shrinkage characteristics and extremely low CBR value and shear strength. Hence, there is need for improvement of these properties. The present study is aimed at determining the behavior of black cotton soil reinforced with

The soil used is a type of black cotton soil collected from Chittur in Palaghat District. The fibres are cut to different lengths (1.5cm, 2.0cm, 2.5cm and 3.0cm) and mixed randomly with soil in varying percentages (0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.00%) by dry weight of soil and compacted to maximum dry density at optimum moisture content. The test results indicate a reduction in the maximum dry density and the optimum moisture content of soil due to the addition of sisal fibre. 4.3 Fly-ash Stabilization [6] Erdal Cokca (2001):- Effect of Fly ash on expansive soil was studied by Erdal Cokca, There are two major classes of fly ash, class C & F. He carried out investigations using Soma Fly-ash and Tuncbilek fly-ash and added it to expansive soil at 0-25%. Specimens with fly-ash were cured for 7 & 28 days after which they were subjected to oedometer free swell tests. And his experimental findings confirmed that the plasticity index, activity and swelling potential of the samples decreased with increasing percent stabilizer and curing time and the optimum content of fly ash in decreasing the swell potential was found to be 20%. The changes in the physical properties and swelling potential are a result of additional silt size particles to some extent. He concluded that both high – calcium and low calcium class C fly ashes can be recommended as effective stabilizing agents for improvement of expansive soils. 4.4 Rice Husk Ash, Lime, Gypsum [7] Koteswara Rao .D and Anusha .M from department of civil engineering of University College of Engineering JNTUK KAKINADA, A.P. has conducted an experimental study on stabilization of black cotton soil with rice husk ash, lime and gypsum. This study, resulted in considerable improvement in the strength characteristics of the expansive soil. Liquid limit of the soil has been decreased by 22% for 20% RHA+5% Lime. Free Swell Index has been reduced by 88% for 20% RHA+5%Lime. UCS of the expansive soil has been increased by 548% for 20% RHA+5% lime + 3% Gypsum after 28 days curing. CBR value was increased by 1350% for 20% RHA+5% lime + 3% Gypsum after 14 days curing. There is remarkable influence on strength and CBR values for 20% RHA + 5% Lime + 3% Gypsum which is an optimum percentage. 5. PROPERTIES OF BLACK COTTON SOIL The expansive type of soil is in black color and also it has ability to grow cotton it is known as black cotton soil. This type of soil expand suddenly when came in contact of moisture and start swell and shrink when the moisture is removed so due to its swell- shrink behavior it is a very problematic soil for consideration of its use as a construction material.

The oven-dried material shall then be riffled so that a fraction of convenient mass is obtained. This shall be about 200 g if a substantial proportion of the material only, just passes the 4.75-mm IS Sieve or less if the largest size is smaller. The fraction shall be weighed to 0.1 percent of its total mass and the mass recorded. The riffled and weighed fraction shall be spread out in the large tray or bucket and covered with water. Two grams of sodium hexametaphosphate or one gram of sodium hydroxide and one gram of sodium carbonate per litre of water used should then be added to the soil. The mix should be thoroughly stirred and left for soaking. The soil soaked specimen should be washed thoroughly over the nest of sieves specified in nested in order of their fineness with the finest sieve (75-micron IS Sieve) at the bottom.

The liquid limit device shall be inspected to determine that it is clean , dry and in good working order, that the cup falls freely and it does not have too much side play at its hinge. The grooving tool shall also be inspected to determine that it is clean and dry. 2. About 120 gm of the soil sample passing 425-micron sieve shall be mixed thoroughly with distilled water in the evaporating dish or on the flat glass plate to form a uniform paste. The paste shall have a consistency that will requi9ire 30 to 35 drops of the cup to cause the consistency closure of the standard groove. In case of clayey soil , the soil paste shall be left for a sufficient time (24 hours ) so as to ensure uniform distribution of moisture throughout the soil mass. 3. Take a portion of the paste in the spatula and place it in the centre of the cup so that it is almost half filled. Level off the cup surface of the wet soil with the spatula , so that it is parallel to the rubber base and maximum depth of the soil is 1 cm. 4. Cut a groove in the wet soil in the cup by using appropriate grooving tool. 5. Turn the handle of the apparatus at the rate of 2 revolutions per seconds until the two parts of the soil come in contact with bottom of the groove along the distance 10 mm. record the numbers of blows required to cause the groove close to 10 mm. 6. Collect the representative slice of soil from cup and put it in a airtight container, determine water content of the sample. 7. Remove the soil from the cup and mix it with the soil left earlier on the glass plate. Change the consistency of the mix by adding more water or leaving the soil paste dry. repeat the above steps 3,4,5, & 6.

In the case of clayey soils, the soil paste shall be left to stand for a sufficient time (24 h) to allow the moisture to permeate throughout the soil mass. 3 The thoroughly mixed soil-water paste shall be placed in the mould such that it is slightly proud of the sides of the mould. The mould shall then be gently jarred to remove any airpockets in the paste. The soil shall then be levelled off along the top of the mould with the palette knife. The mould shall be placed so that the soil-water mixture (paste) can air. dry slowly, until the soil has shrunk away from the walls of the mould. Drying should then be completed first at a temperature of 60 to 65°C until shrinkage has largely ceased and then at 105 to 110°C to complete the drying. 4 The mould and soil shall then be cooled and the mean length of.

Above figure shows that the liquid limit values for 30% replacement are nearly equal to 33 which 22% less than the black cotton soil value. As same for 40% replacement liquid limits value decrease by 24.41% and for 50% burnt brick dust it reduced by 31.86%. As same reduction is identified plastic limit and plasticity index. Reduction in plastic limit value for 30, 40, 50 % burnt brick dust are respectively 23.29, 24.42, & 32.35 %. As same reduction in plasticity index for 30, 40, 50 % brick dust are respectively 21.34, 24.44, & 31.57 %. 7.2 Modified Proctor Test Table 4: Modified proctor test values for mix proportions of soil & brick dust CONTENT black cotton soil 30% BD 40% BD 50% BD MDD (g/cc) 1.71 1.81 1.875 1.937 OMC (%) 18.08 15.55 14.3 11.69 Chart 2: maximum dry density for mix proportions soil & brick dust Chart 3: optimum moisture content for mix proportions soil & brick dust The above figure is showing the impact of brick dust on maximum dry density and optimum moisture content.

For replacement of soil maximum dry density is increasing by 5.84%, 9.64%, & 13.27% for 30%, 40%, & 50% marble powder respectively. And optimum moisture content for the same is decreasing by 13.99%, 20.90%, & 35.34% than the black cotton soil. 7.3 Linear Shrinkage Table 5: Linear shrinkage values for mix proportions of soil & brick dust mix proportion black cotton soil BC + 30% BD BC + 40% BD BC + 50% BD shrinkage % 23.7 9.4 7.8 7.3 Chart 4: linear shrinkage chart for mix proportions soil & brick dust Fig 17: expansive soil with cracks due to shrinkage Fig 18: shrinkage showing soil + 30% brick dust Fig 19: shrinkage showing soil + 40% brick dust Fig 20: shrinkage showing soil + 50% brick dust The reading shows that with increasing brick dust content the linear shrinkage is reducing. For 30%, 40% & 50 % it reduces 60.33 %, 67.08 % & 69.19 % respectively than the black cotton soil. 7.4 Free Swell Index Table 6: Free swell index values for mix proportions of soil & brick dust free swell index mix proportion black cotton soil BC + 30% BD BC + 40% BD BC + 50% BD 1 The initial volume 10ml 10 ml 10 ml 10 ml 2 The final volume 15.05ml 11 ml 10.5 ml 10 ml 3 Free swell index 50.50% 10% 5% 0% Chart 5:- free swell index chart for mix proportions soil & brick dust Fig 21: swelling B.C soil Fig 22: swelling B.C soil + 30% BD

CONCLUSIONS From the results it is concluded that the impact of brick dust on black cotton soil is positive. By replacing soil by half of its dry weight by brick dust it gives maximum improvement in the engineering properties of black cotton soil. So use of brick dust is preferable for stabilization because it gives positive results as stabilizer and also it is a waste utilization.
