Soil stabilization is a major concern in India where the civil engineering infrastructure is developing a t a very fast
pace. Large area of country is covered with expansive soil which has poor engineering properties and not suitable for
construction like highway subgrade. So soil stabilization is necessary to improve its engineering performance such as
workability, stiffness, strength, permeability, compressibility and sensitivity. This review paper deals with the soil stabilization
using a chemical additive RBI Grade-81. It is a very effective stabilizer and can be used in sub grade, sub base and base layer.
The industrial waste like Pond ash, Fly Ash, Stone dust, Foundry Sand, Steel Slag etc can also be used with RBI Grade-81 as
stabilizer to reduce the cost.
