Abstract:

 Expansive soils are so widespread that it becomes impossible to avoid them for highway construction. Many highway agencies, private organizations and researches are doing extensive studies on waste materials and research projects concerning their feasibility and environmental suitability. Utilization of industrial waste materials in the improvement of soils is a cost efficient and environmental friendly method. The properties of the black cotton soils can be altered in many ways viz. mechanical, thermal and chemical means. Therefore, soil stabilization techniques are necessary to ensure the good stability of soil so that it can successfully sustain the load of the superstructure especially in case of soil which is highly active; also, it saves a lot of time. This paper describes the attempts made to investigate the stabilization process by blending different percentages of Tile Waste and Recron-3S Fibres in expansive soil and conducted various laboratory tests like Atterberg;s Limits, Compaction and Soaked CBR with a view to determine the effect on strength properties of expansive soil. Test results shows that stabilizing expansive soil with Tile Waste and Recron-3S Fibres enhance the strength
