Author : RAMISETTY EASWAR KUMAR, GADDAM SAI KRISHNA, V. SRAVANI, Dr.K. CHANDRAMOUI

The study was about improvement of the properties of black cotton soil with electric arc furnace dust (admixtures) with ordinary Portland cement and the determination of the optimum quantity that could be used as road construction material at minimum cost. This admixture is the waste material from the electrical industries. By using of this material as admixture we reduce the environmental hazards. Ordinary Portland cement and (EAFD) is added in the percentages of 0,5,10,15,20 & 0,5,10,15,20 respectively by dry weight of soil.
