Poojeshwari Kotagi, Nagaraj Bacha

Abstract: Black cotton soil has many complications than the Lateritic soil, as this study deals with the problems of Bidar district soil. District consist unique type of variations, in some parts of district the surface consists the lateritic soil and subsurface consists the black cotton soil up to some extent of depth. Therefore this study deals with the type of blending problem of two soils by using the stabilizer RBI grade 81. The different blending proportions were prepared to know the unconfined strength characteristics of the soil and for all the soil proportions 1% to 2% of RBI grade 81 is added and kept curing for1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 day
