Abstract :
Various varieties of soil may be found across
the world. The engineering features of soil are the most
significant consideration in any building development.
Construction on expanding soil is the most essential
difficulty that civil engineers encounter. The expansive
soil has typically undesired engineering properties, such
as poor shear strength, plasticity, and compressibility; it
expands when wet and shrinks when dry. Its
characteristics can be enhanced with appropriate
stabilizing procedures. Black cotton covers around 15%
of the soil in India. Crops produced on black cotton soil
include pea nuts, cotton, wheat, jowar, linseed, tobacco,
castor, sunflower, and millets. In comparison, the peanut
industry generates millions of tons of garbage.
Nowadays, a key issue is "How to benefit from the
industrial waste product."
Soil stabilization is performed in order to improve
the engineering qualities of the soil. The rising expense of
typical stabilizing chemicals, along with the need to
economically utilize industrial and agricultural waste for
positive engineering reasons, prompted an inquiry into
the stabilizing potential of groundnut shell powder
(GSP) in expansive soil.
This study looks at how to improve the geotechnical
characteristics of expansive soil by performing various
tests such as specific gravity, atterberg limit, compaction
test, and California bearing ratio test to determine the
properties of the untreated soil sample and then adding
5%, 7%, and 9% ground nut shell powder by weight of
soil. In this phase, only untreated soil testing are
conducted. After receiving treated and untreated soil
results, compare the untreated black cotton soil results
to various percentages of ground nut shell powder
results to determine the optimum amount of ground nut
shell powder necessary to increase the stability of black
cotton soil.
