Abstract

In central part of India, an expansive soil commonly known as Black cotton (BC) soil is one of the most abundantly available geomaterial. It observed the presence of higher montmorillonite content. BC soil shows highly expansive and swelling characteristics, and exhibit elasto-visco-plastic behaviour. The soil undergoes continuous settlement under the application of constant load and swelling during unloading. It is regarded as an unsuitable filler material for construction projects. In this paper fly ash is used as a stabilizer and studied the relative swelling strain rate and creep behaviour of the blended mixture using the Elasto-Visco-Plastic model considers Swelling (EVPS) model. The experimental results along with major observation from the study are presented and discussed the effect of fly ash on the overall responses of BC-FA mixture in this paper.
