• Black cotton soil is found in various parts of our country. It considerably swells and shrinks due to variation in moisture content. Therefore, such soil is very treacherous for undertaking any construction work. Flyash is known to have pozzolanic action which can possibly have some beneficial effect in countering welling in expansive soils. It is proposed to use flyash as retarding agent and to overcome the problems of swelling in black cotton soil (Mishra in Int J Sci Res (IJSR), 2015 [1]). It has been concluded that flyash reduces the swelling pressure. The mode of application is more important aspect in controlling the swelling.
