        abstract = {Soil stabilization is an important geotechnical engineering technique used to improve the engineering properties of weak soils for construction purposes. Rapid urbanization and infrastructure development have increased the demand for stable foundation materials, while the availability of suitable natural soils has decreased. Simultaneously, industries generate large quantities of waste materials such as Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), Red Mud, and Marble Dust, which create environmental disposal challenges. This study investigates the utilization of these industrial by-products as sustainable stabilizing agents for clayey soil. Laboratory investigations were carried out on natural clayey soil mixed with different proportions of GGBS, Red Mud, and Marble Dust. The engineering properties of soil were evaluated through Atterberg Limit Tests, Standard Proctor Compaction Tests, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) Tests, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Tests. The results indicated significant improvements in soil behavior. The optimum combination of 15% GGBS, 10% Red Mud, and 15% Marble Dust produced maximum improvement in strength and bearing capacity. UCS increased from 110kN/m² to 275kN/m², while CBR increased from 4.8% to 13.5%. The study demonstrates that industrial waste materials can successfully replace conventional stabilizers, reduce construction costs and environmental impacts while promote sustainable development.},
