The Construction of foundation, road embankments and pavements on problematic soft soil is a difficult task for civil engineers. Now a day’s civil engineers are forced to construct structures at available sites without considering the type of soil. The construction can be considerably decreased by selecting local materials including local soils for the construction of the lower layers of the pavement such as the sub-base course and subgrade soil. If the stability of the local soil is not adequate for supporting the wheel loads, the properties are improved by soil stabilization techniques. The greatest challenge before the processing and manufacturing industries is disposal of the residual waste products. Waste products which are generally toxic, ignitable, corrosive or reactive pose serious health and environmental consequences. Thus disposal of industrial waste is a measure issue of the present generation. This measure issue requires an affective, economic and environment friend method to combat the disposal of the residual industrial waste products. One of the common and feasible ways to utilize these waste products is to go for construction of roads, highways and embankments. If these materials can be suitably utilized in construction of roads, highways and embankments then the pollution problem caused by the industrial wastes can be greatly reduced. This investigation focused on the use of industrial waste or materials like Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) and silica fume as stabilizing agent.
