Soil Improvement By Using Waste Marble Powder And Chemical Additives

-Abstract
Soil stabilization is the process of making the existing natural soil strong enough to carry the wheel load of the
various vehicles and to keep the sub grade free from the moisture content that can damage the pavement. Soil
stabilization can be achieved by various methods such as mechanical method, soil - fly ash stabilization, soil - cement
stabilization, soil – lime stabilization and chemical stabilization. This study is focused on to identify the soil mixture,
laboratory investigations for finding the initial engineering property for classification of sub-grade soil. Also to determine
the engineering characteristics of soil with additives to find whether it is viable for use in terms of economically,
suitability and environmentally. The main testing is carried out to compare the strength and characteristic of expansive
soil before and after treating with different concentration of additives.
