Abstract

Soil stabilization using admixtures is the method which is helpful for the improvement of soil. In this paper Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and Sugar Mill Waste (SMW) are used as soil stabilizer on clay soil. Standard Proctor Compaction test and Unconfined Compression test are performed with and without replacements of 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% of Rice Husk Ash and Sugar Mill Waste. It has been find out that the Optimum Moisture Content has been increased with the increase in percentage of Rice Husk Ash as well as Sugar Mill Waste. The compressive strength of soil goes on increase up to 6% and then decreases at 8% in case of both Rice Husk Ash and Sugar Mill Waste. So, the optimum value we got is 6%.
