Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil by Using Tamarind Seed Powder

Authors(6) :-Prof. Mohd Azaz, Dhanshree Madankar, Runali Shingne, Abdul Aziz, Abhishek Madne, Musharif

The purpose of this research is to improve the engineering properties of expansive soil by using tamarind seeds. The expansive soil is most likely to be unsaturated and has montmorillonite clay materials. The black cotton soil is mostly present in region around Mumbai, Madras, Nagpur and even on the river banks. The various tests are performed on soil to evaluate their engineering properties for increasing strength of soil by using tamarind seed powder. Like liquid limit and plastic limit are performed on the soil samples by using tamarind seed powder with black cotton soil at the different percentage. The tamarind seed powder are used to improve the strength of black cotton soil. Soil proportion changes depending upon their constituent our water content, density, sieve analysis etc. Experimental work is based on different percentage of tamarind seed in soil on further test for soil liquid, plastic limit, grain size analysis etc. Problems identified with black cotton soil.
