Abstract
It is general practice to utilize locally available soil for construction of geotechnical construction. This is economical way of construction. But availability of locally available waste material like fly ash, pond ash etc. gives engineers a choice to do construction in sustainable way. But for this purpose comparative study is required. In this paper comparison of geotechnical behavior of Muzaffarpur soil and locally available fly ash is done. For this purpose series of tests were conducted on the fly ash and local soil. In this study, test to find out index properties and engineering properties like; strength, compaction etc. were conducted. The potential of utilization of the fly ash as partial replacement of soil is also investigated. From the test results it is found that fly ash has better strength behavior and can be utilized as light weight construction material. It is also found that as replacement fly ash can significantly improve the strength behavior of the soil.
