Abstract:

Soil stabilization is one of the processes used for improving engineering properties soil. There are various materials used as stabilizing agents. In this paper, RBI GRADE -81 mixed in different percentages with clay soil and its effect on engineering properties of clay soil is investigated after conducting California Bearing Ratio test and Proctor Test. Observations are made for the changes in the properties of the soil such as Maximum dry density (MDD), Optimum moisture content (OMC), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values are determined on 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% percentages of RBI. It has been find out that MDD goes on decreases with the increase in percentage of RBI Grade-81. The CBR value of soil goes on increases up to 6% and then decreases at 8% in case of RBI. So, the optimum value we got is 6% in CBR Test. From the analysis it is found that RBI Grade-81 may widely use as a stabilizing agent.

Keywords:

Soil stabilization, RBI Grade-81, Compaction and CBR.
