Abstract
Black Cotton (B.C) soil is highly plastic clayey soil. In dry state, it is very stiff that clods may not be effortlessly pulverized to be treated for its use in road construction. This poses severe troubles when considered in respect to subse-quent performance of road .In addition, the softened subgrade has a tendency to upheave into the upper layers of pavement, mainly when sub-base consists of stone soling with lot of voids. Regular intrusion of soaked B.C soil perpetu-ally leads to road failure. Roads resting on B.C soil base develop undulation on pavement top because of strength loss of subgrade through softening at time of monsoons.In the current study, Specific Gravity Test, Consistency Indices (Liquid Limit (LL), Plastic Limit (PL), and Plasticity Index (PI)), Modified Proctors Test, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Tests will be executed on B.C Soil (High-ly Clayey Soil) first by mixing with altered percentage of Rice Husk Ash (10% , 20% ,30% ,40% ) to stabilize soil and then percent of Rice Husk Ash at which maximum CBR is gained is chosen for further experimental work. . The opti-mal proportion (percentage) of Rice Husk Ash at which maximum CBR is achieved will be selected and gets reinforced with varying proportion (per-centage) of Geosynthetic fibre. Along with these altered percentages of rein-forcement, the optimal quantity of fibre required to obtain maximum strength is well-known.
