Abstract— Soil stabilization is one of the processes used for improving engineering properties of soil. There are various materials used as stabilizing agents. In this paper, RBI grade -81 mixed in different percentages with clayey soil and silty soil and its effect on engineering properties of soil is investigated after conducting California Bearing Ratio test and Unconfined compressive strength test. Observations are made for the changes in the properties of the soil such as Maximum dry density (MDD), Optimum moisture content (OMC), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) values are determined on 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6% percentages of RBI. It has been find out that MDD goes on increasing and OMC goes on decreasing with the increase in percentage of RBI Grade-81. The CBR value of soil goes on increasing up to 6% of RBI grade 81. The results indicate that RBI grade 81 is effective in improving stability of both the clayey as well as silty soil mass.
