1. Abstract Now day people are facing some problems regarding traveling or transportationinthe sangli islampur city because of the bad condition of the road. There are potholes on road due to black cotton soil is proved to be seriously founded on it. It has high swelling and shrinkage properties. Because of its high swelling due to water percolation in the rainy season and shrinkage due to water evaporating in the summer season, when we construct the structure on black cotton soil, it gets cracked. In the past decades, we found stabilization techniques to reduce the swelling and shrinkage property of soil. So in this project, we stabilize the soil using brick dust and also find the causes of road cracks and remedial measures of it.
Key Words: Black cotton soil, brick dust, causes of settlement of road, remedial measures of it.
Recently,trafficandtransportationsystemsareincreased in the Sangli district. So most of the vehicles are goes on SangliIslampurroad.Recentlythisroadisconvertedintoa national highway. So it is necessary to keep it in good conditionandmaintenance. Mostofthetimethat roadis constructedbutthatroadisfrequentlydeterioratedandget cracks. So people are facing problems while traveling on thatroad.Tosolvethatproblemwechoosethisproject,so inthisproject,wewillfindthecausesofroaddeterioration andremedialmeasuresofit.

5.1.1 Liquid limit test on black cotton soil.
Liquid limit (WL): The liquid limit is conceptually definedasthewatercontentatwhichthebehaviorofa clayey soil changes from plastic to liquid. But experimentally it is defined as the minimum water content at which two separated grooved soil parts mixedtogetherunder25blowsofCasagrande’sLiquid LimitApparatus.
