Soil exchange is the strategy for upgrading the five star parameters of soil and therefore improving as a ways as viable and vulnerability of soil. it's miles great whilst the soil convenient for improvement of subgrade of black-top is unlawful to skip on burden. Generally Soils show irksome structuring residences, as such Soil Adjustment is pivotal for upgrading soils residences. modification improves thestrengthofasoil and oversee theshrink-swelling properties of soil,thusimprovingtheload bearing confine of a sub-degree and give a boost to black-tops. Soil trade is moreover diminishes vulnerability and compressibilityofthesoilmassinearthstructuresandtoincreaseitsshe arstrength.Themainaim of this paper is toreview the physical and chemical properties of the soil in different types of stabilization methodologies. Soil Stabilization and itseffectonsoilindicate the response angle with conveyed materials, impact on its bearing farthest point, improve and hold up soil sogginess substance and thought for sub-level introduction .Sois tabilization can be completed byseveral strategies.Allthe strategies fall in to two broad categories explicitly mechanical and synthetic change. Mechanical Adjustment is the tool of upgrading the homes of the residue with the manual of changing over its evaluation and counterfeit modification of a ways attaining soil includes changing the physio-chemicalchanges in clayparticleswherebytheearthrequired lesswatertofulfillthe bearing and permeability of soil.

Soils possess high plasticity characteristics, less strength properties and highly swell-shrink property. The frequently swell-shrink seasons causes distress to the structures and the pavements constructed on them. Maintenance and repair costs of the distressed structures and pavements are very high. It is therefore necessary either to provide suitable soils from far off borrow areas or to improve locally available soils by stabilizing. In the current work laboratory studies are carried out on black cotton soil, stabilized it with coarse grain crush sand. Sieve analysis, Atterberg limits, modified compaction and California bearing ratio test were carried out on black cotton soil and 10%, 20% and 30% coarse grain crush sand blended soils. It is found that in sieve analysis sand content has increased by increasing the percentage of coarse grain crush sand when compared to native soils. It is also seen from compaction test by increasing the percentage of coarse grain crush sand the dry density has increased and moisture content has reduced marginally when compared with native soil. From California bearing ratio test it is seen that the strength increase with the percentage coarse grain crush sand. The design of pavement with stabilized soil is found to be economical.
