With the advancement in the field of infrastructures and roads and highways, it has become an utmost important to make soil fit to bear the same load. All the pre available soils, sometimes, are not fit to withstand heavy loads as they have weak strength due to more cohesion/ swelling properties or very densely packed particles. Therefore, the exploration of soil properties before and after its stabilization is needed. In current experimental program, raw soil was collected and its stabilization was carried out with the help of rice husk ash and PP fibres. Various strength and other engineering parameters were determined in laboratory but only physical properties of RHA and PP fibres were explored during this study. Therefore, from the various results obtained from different laboratory tests, it was concluded that the optimum percentage of RHA and PP fibres are 9% and 0.2% respectively as at this proportions best results were attained. So, it is highly recommended that 9% Rice husk ash and 0.2% PP fibres of waste materials by dry weight of soil should be utilized for enhancing the different properties of raw soil.
