Abstract:
Bio-enzyme is a natural, non-toxic, non-flammable liquid. It is fermented from vegetable extracts that improves geo-technical properties of black cotton soil. In this thesis work online purchased black cotton soil was mixed with bio-enzyme( terrazyme) with different dosages of 250ml/2m3, 250ml/1.5m3, 250ml/1.0m3 and 250ml/0.5m3 respectively and subjected to various tests after the curing period of 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days in order to get idea how much strength is improved. The CBR Test (both in soaked and un-soaked conditions) and Unconfined compression Test were performed for un-treated soil and enzymatic soil and test results were tabulated. The experimental results shows that terrazyme stabilization improves the strength of the black cotton soil upto great extent. With increase in percentage of terrazyme and days of curing, unconfined compression strength values of the soil increased from 40.25% to 73.33% with dosage of 250ml/2m3 to 250ml/0.5m3, respectively for curing period of 28 days. Also with increasing in percentage of terrazyme, the unsoaked CBR value was increased from 5.45 to 8.35 that is 53.21% after curing period of 28 days.
