Abstract

For enhancement of the material characteristics we have to use some stabilizing agent with various
doses. The main objectives of the soil stabilization is to increase the compressive strength of soil and bearing capacity
also. Due to stabilizing agent mixing with soil, there is an improvement in soil charecterstics such as Liquid limit,
Plastic limit, Maximum Dry Density, Permeability, etc.
This Sc type of soil stabilized with 2% Cement, 4% Cement, 6% Cement, 8% Cement. The compressive strength of
cube made out of soil-cement Mixture at 6% cement in 2.5N/mm2
.Further increase in cement content to 8% does not
yield any improvement in the compressive strength of the cube. So 6% cement is optimum percentage of cement which
give good compressive strength.
