  • Abstract:
  • Soil stabilization is an essential procedure in civil engineering that aims to enhance soil properties, improving its strength, load-supporting capacity, and resilience for construction projects. This research investigates the feasibility of utilizing eco-friendly, waste-sourced materials—namely wood charcoal, recycled concrete, and fly ash—in soil stabilization. Wood charcoal, with its porous composition, supports moisture control and promotes particle cohesion. Recycled concrete, used as a reclaimed aggregate, enhances soil density and provides additional structural reinforcement. Fly ash, a byproduct rich in silicates and calcium compounds, chemically interacts within the soil, boosting cohesion and lowering plasticity. The use of these materials not only strengthens soil stability and durability but also contributes to sustainable construction by repurposing waste. This method offers a cost-effective, environmentally conscious alternative to conventional soil stabilization techniques, making it well-suited for contemporary construction practices.
