Abstract :
Demand for the up-gradation in the road sub-grade generally needed a specific additive to work significantly in actual field circumstances. The soil interfaces weaker and makes a loophole for the shear failure, to overtake the failure of soft in-situ soil, the inclusion of chemical reflect in favor to strengthen the soil sub-grade. In earlier days the weak in-situ soil was replaced by the hard strata; despite doing so, the soil improvement technique is much more suitable and sustainable. Soil stabilization means the act of making the soil more stable and making it less likely to demolish. This present study present asynchronous of the test are done on in-situ soil and with varying the percentage of additive to evaluate various geotechnical parameters. In this present investigation, the soil was stabilized with a lime concentration of 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%. The successive test admits the Liquid limit, plastic limit, standard proctor, and the California bearing ratio test. The optimum results were found with 6% of additive with in-situ soil. The California Bearing Ratio value is resolved at 6% lime additive is 14.59 and the maximum dry density is coming out to be 1.856kN/m3 at 15.38% Optimum moisture content.
