Abstract: We have done some experiments on black cotton soil to strengthen the soil. Black cotton soil is very expansive soil so it is not used under basements for any building works. So our experiment shows that how to use black cotton soil in building purposes. So that we have done researches on adding lime and pond ash to make useful of black cotton soil.Changes in various soil properties such as Liquid limit, Plastic Limit, Maximum Dry Density, Optimum Moisture Content were studied. Keywords– Black cotton soil, density, will lime, soil, and stabilization. So we have done the some mixed proportions of 10%, 15% and 20% of pond and lime. So we utilize the waste material which comes from the thermal power plant. By that we can decrease the rate of expenditure for the construction of roads Based upon the performance of the test such as standard proctor test and other to know the required amount of the material to stabilize the black cotton soil. 
Keywords: Black Cotton Soil, Pond ash, Lime,
Scope of the Article: Soil-Structure Interaction
