The development of any country depends on the transportation facilities and the construction projects. For the projects to be successful, the soil used for the foundation beds must be strong which requires better soil properties. Expansive soils have the tendency to swell when they come in contact with moisture and to shrink if moisture is removed from them. These volume changes in swelling soils are the cause of many problems in structures that come into their contact or constructed out of them. An attempt has been made to use emulsion for improving the strength and geotechnical properties of gravel soil. Very mostly, use of use of bitumen emulsion is environmentally accepted. To achieve the whole project some experimental investigation is needed in laboratory. The experiments which to be conducted are Specific Gravity of the soil sample, Grain size Distribution of soil sample and liquid limit plastic limit test to identify the material and Standard Proctor test to obtain maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of soil sample, Unconfined shear strength test of soil sample mixing with emulsion. The different values adopted in the present study for the percentage of cement (12 %) and Bitumen emulsions are 6, 12, 18 and 24 %.
