The expansive soils are particular type of soils which are almost clayey soils. When they absorb the process of expansion takes place and they shrink when they dry out. The swelling process generates the hydraulic pressure which results in the heaving or lifting of the structure. Whereas differential settlement can be caused by the process of shrinkage. Due to the shrinkage and swelling process, many buildings and pavements which are placed on such soils are exposed to danger. Thus, the technique of stabilization is made for enhancing the properties of soil to avoid the mentioned risk. 20% of Indian land covers the black soil, which is around 0.8msqkm. The experiments are done in the laboratory by blending the optimum % of ground granulated blast furnace slag, ordinary Portland cement 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9% and 1.2% and the glass fibre 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% were used with black cotton soil to know their effects on it. OMC, MDD results were found out in the laboratory. The UCS is checked at 3,7 and 14 days of curing period for the mix proportions having highest values of MDD.
