This paper explains experimental results on use of bentonite in stabilizing sand for the feasibility apply in geotechnical engineering. The addition of bentonite in the mix helps in making cohesive bond in the mix. The various mix proportions are prepared for tests were 5%,10%,15% and 20%. The laboratory tests such as compaction, California bearing ratio (CBR) in both soaked and un soaked condition, unconfined compression test (UCC), to measure the engineering characteristics of stabilized materials. The results showed substantial improvement in unconfined compression strength at 15% bentonite, and the small improvement by California. Thus, bentonite is used to improve the strength characteristics of sand.
