In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the influence of fly ash columns (FACs) on the expansive soil using different percentages of fly ash and calcium carbide residue (CCR) to reduce heave of expansive soil bed. Puzzolanic activity of the binder admixture has been studied by replacing the columns admixture by sand in the vertical columns in the soil specimen. Conventional Oedometer tests have been performed. Free swell index and particle size distribution tests have also been
