Clayey soil due to presences of clay minerals makes them inappropriate for construction purpose in its natural form. To make them more suitable for construction activities, several stabilizers are used to stabilize the clayey soil. This paper discusses the stabilization results of various studies conducted by different researchers, which is useful for determining the potential of industrial wastes for clayey soil stabilization. This review paper discusses the studies about the uses of phosphogypsum and surkhi generated as waste from the industries as a soil stabilizer. Phosphogypsum is generated as byproduct during the production of phosphoric fertilizer and surkhi or brick kiln dust is produced as waste during the manufacturing of fire clay bricks. The soil stabilized using these wastes which is generated from industries have significant effect on the clayey soil. Moreover, this soil stabilization method not only a very eco-friendly and cost-effective but also utilizes the wastes generated from industries in a more purposeful manner.
