Institute of Engineering, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, India ABSTRACT In India, Thermal power plant is the major source of fly ash generation. They produce more than 184 million-ton fly ash as by product. The Fly ash is obtained from thermal power stations using pulverised coal as boiler fuel in the form of fine residue. It creates the dual problem of disposal and environmental pollution. Chhattisgarh state utilized about 32.69% of fly ash from their production in the year 2015-16. In recent years, developing countries mainly focused on natural resources and energy conservation. Such waste products generally deposited in landfills, have been proposed for use as an alternate materials for construction. Hence we should try to utilize the fly ash with expansive soil for road construction. This paper, deals with the evaluation of the mechanical properties of fly ash and expansive soil. In present paper soil and fly ash, both materials are separately determined and then the two are combined in proportions of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% of fly ash and interpretation the same with results. The properties like swelling index, Optimum moisture content, maximum dry density and California Bearing Ratio of the same are evaluated. It is observed in this research work that use of fly ash is beneficial in road construction with the expansive soil. Keywords: Fly ash, Expansive soil, Swelling Index, CBR.
