7. CONCLUSION
Based on the test conducted on expansive soil and with addition of 10 % class F fly ash
following conclusion have been drawn:

The specific gravity of soil, soil fly ash mixture varied from 2.43 to 2.33 with a value of 2.33
for fly ash content 10 %.

The specific gravity of expansive soil decreased as the percentage of fly ash content in the
mixture increase because the specific gravity of fly ash was lower than the specific gravity of
original soil.

Based on the OMC and MDD values it is concluded that both values are decrease as fly ash
content increase .it is acceptable in terms of providing maximum compaction.

Therefore, the addition of Class F Fly ash to black cotton soil improve the compaction
properties of soil.

The CBR values of soil, soil fly ash mixes are tested under unsoked conditions.

The addition of 10 % fly ash improve the index properties of soil, its strength and bearing
capacity.

Hence, it is concluded that the fly ash has a good potential to be used as a additive for
improving the engineering properties of Expansive Soil.it is good potential for use in
Geotechnical application
