  • Abstract:
  • A number of studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of waste materials on improving soil properties. The present study focuses on modifying soil characteristics using locally available rice husk ash (RHA) and fly ash (FA), which are widely recognized as effective stabilizing agents [1][2]. The cost of stabilization can be reduced by partially replacing conventional binders with RHA [1]. The soil used in this study is highly compressible clay that requires stabilization to minimize volume change. Soil samples were stabilized with varying percentages of RHA and FA, and tests such as compaction, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) were conducted [3][4]. Results indicate that maximum dry density increases with increasing RHA content, while optimum moisture content decreases, whereas the reverse trend is observed with fly ash addition [2][5].
