Stabilization of Red soil and Black Cotton soil using Iron Slag and Fly Ash

The infrastructure is increasing day by day which leads to construction in the space where soil is not much of good strength and the Safe Bearing Capacity of soil is very low. In such areas soil stabilization can prove to be good alternative for improvement in its properties. The stabilization has been found to be effective in improvement of strength and compressibility. If soil is used for any construction purpose like pavement construction or embankments then such constructions may prove to be cost effective. Mixer like what is used in concrete making can be employed to mix the soil with different admixtures (Iron slag and fly ash) and then placing a mix soil for making road and embankment. If such constructions are done without stabilization then it will lead to decrease in strength and also increase in construction cost. The structures built upon such soil may also lead to failure. Initially cement and lime have been used to stabilize the soil but now we need to find other alternatives as there is lot of CO2 emission in the production of cement which is not safe for our environment. The alternatives to be used should not harm to the environment. In the present study we have use
