Abstract
In general black cotton soil is widely distributed all over the india. Construction of land based structures become very difficult on black cotton soil because of black cotton soil characteristics like high swelling index and shrinkage. So we are interested to counter act its characteristics by using waste materials like quarry dust and coir fiber those are of less cost and also minimizing the wastes. It was also a best method of disposal of wastes. Coir fibers are decomposable material to preserve that it was treated with sodium hydroxide (NAOH).
