Black cotton soil is weak soil, possessing undesirable characteristics like shrinkage and swelling. Before undertaking any civil engineering project on such land, it must be rehabilitated before construction. Various work has been done by researchers to overcome these problems by using different types of soil stabilization, such as cement soil stabilization, lime soil stabilization, bitumen soil stabilization, etc. The present study includes the determination of the geotechnical properties of soil obtained from Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, and coir fiber (% of black cotton soil samples) in terms of soil strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
