Soil stabilization is any process which improves the physical properties of soil, such as increasing shear strength, bearing capacity etc. which can be done by use of controlled compaction or addition of suitable admixtures like cement, lime and waste materials like fly ash, polypropylene etc. This new technique of soil stabilization can be effectively used to meet the challenges of society, to reduce the quantities of waste, producing useful material from non-useful waste materials. The research focuses on three main objectives, the first one is improving the properties of the soil at the construction site so it doesn’t bend under the pressure from the weight of the building structure, while the other important part is how to minimize the excessive usage of the cement in this purpose and try to use other materials which can do the same job, one of these materials is the rice husk ash, its production is increasing yearly and annually 20 million tons are produced, which quite large amount. Rice husk ash consist of 85%-90% silica, this is why it is a great replacement for silica in soil stabilization, silica is considered to be a great binding agent along with cement, however due time its price is increasing, so new materials are used for the purpose of geotechnical works. There are three objectives of the research; one is to determine the Atterberg limits, maximum dry density, optimum moisture content and maximum shear strength of the soil without additives, another is to determine the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of the soil with 5%, 10%, 15% rice husk ash and 6% cement as additive and lastly compare the results between the sample with additives and the sample without additives to determine what is the change that occurred. The tests are Atterberg limits test, grain size analysis, proctor compaction test and shear box test.
