Abstract: The soil is a most commonly used material in civil engineering construction works. There are different types of soil present on earth according to material property, size, texture; Black cotton soil (Expansive soil) is very fragile as compared to other soils. So to make the soil stable, soil stabilization is required to improve the engineering properties of soil, like to improve load-bearing capacity, shear strength and to reduce permeability and compressibility of the soil mass because the black cotton soil is not suitable to carry the structural load. The aim of this experiment is to determine the strength of soil by conducting following test: Liquid limit, Plastic limit, Shrinkage limit, Compaction test, Unconfined compressive test, sieve analysis. Soil will be stabilizing by varying percentage of natural sand (5%, 10%, 15%). By conducting these Experiment we can obtain the optimum water content, maximum dry density, reduce permeability and low compressibility
