Soil can be considered as a very first element of the construction industry as no construction work can be done without it. Soil plays an important role in the construction industry such as in foundation works, pavement subgrade etc. Soil used in the construction industry is first treated and convert into a technically sound which fulfil the criteria of good foundation soil. Soil stabilization is such a process which improves the properties of soil such as strength, stress parameters, Atterberg’s limit etc by mixing external agent or compacting it. Hence the requirement of engineering soil can be achieved by such processes. In this study, we are comparing the properties of soil by mixing calcium-based stabilizers: cement, lime and RBI Grade 81 at a different per cent and studying their effects. Cement stabilization and lime stabilization are traditional methods whereas the stabilization through RBI Grade 81 stabilizer is the latest research works and is used in construction nowadays. The effect of these stabilizers on the geotechnical characteristics of Soil was investigated by conducting Sieve analysis, Atterberg’s limit test, Standard Proctor test, CBR tests. The tests were performed as per IS specifications. RBI Grade 81 stabilization shows effective results over Lime and Cement stabilization techniques.
