        abstract = {The recent development and application in the use of advanced composites for the improvement of soil properties are increasing on the basis of specific requirements and national needs. In the present scenario, there is lack of stable soil for the construction of the buildings. The construction of the building using unstable soil is a risk factor and it has become one of the biggest challenges to overcome those unstable ground soils. The need of efficient soil stabilization and soil strengthening techniques have resulted in research using alternatives for soil stabilization, particularly for the black cotton soils which has high swelling and shrinkage tendencies. Similarly, Laterite & Alluvial soil are associated with issues like high compressibility, variable composition, water retention, erosion & instability etc., & hence they demand great deal of attention for stabilization. Varieties of materials are used for improving the properties of soil ranging from wood-ash, acrylic resins, many fibre polymers, lime etc. As a further step towards an innovative approach for soil stabilization, this study focuses on the use of waste materials like copper slag & fly ash for the improvement of soil properties. As a first consideration, both Laterite & Alluvial soils are stabilized with copper slag of 10, 15 & 20% by the weight of soil. For the second consideration, fly-ash is selected as a stabilizing agent at 10, 15 & 20% by the weight of soil & In the last consideration, samples of both the soil are stabilized with 10%, 15% & 20% of both the stabilizing agents. Specific gravity, Liquid limit, plastic limit, OMC, MDD, CBR & UCS for both alluvial & laterite soils are tested & cross verified with the parent soil.},
