Abstract |
|
Black cotton (BC) soils are highly expansive clays that present serious challenges for geotechnical engineering due to large seasonal volume changes, low bearing capacity, and problematic shear strength characteristics. This review synthesizes laboratory and field investigations into the stabilization of BC soils using binary blends — combinations of two stabilizing materials (e.g., lime + fly ash, lime + GGBS, cement + fly ash, fly ash + bio-waste ash). The paper summarizes stabilization mechanisms, dominant material pairs, laboratory behaviour (index properties, compaction, Atterberg limits, unconfined compressive strength, CBR, swelling potential), durability considerations, environmental and economic aspects, and identifies gaps and priorities for future research. |
