improving the geotechnical properties of clayey soil has always a critical problem for the civil engineering construction. A number of studies had been done by the researchers for improving the strength behaviour of soil. The technology used to enhance the strength behaviour of clayey soil is generally known as soil stabilization or modification. In present study, sand procured from the bank of River Gaula at Kathgodam, district. Nainital, (Uttarakhand) was mixed with different proportions of sodium bentonite. Physical properties of Gaula sand and bentonite were determined in the laboratory. Specific gravity, optimum moisture content (OMC), maximum dry density (MDD), porosity and void ratio were determined at different proportion of sand bentonite mix. Analysis of laboratory test conducted on the various proportions are discussed in the present paper.
