Pertaining to the environmental degradation and policies the utilization of industrial by products and wastes in road pavement is important and increasing to ensure proper productive use of waste material. Contribution of government policies and public awareness also helps in enhancement of both this demand and utilization. All over India there are approximately around 4000 marble mines and 1100 marble processing units are established. Near about 5-6 million tones/year of marble dust is generated and is disposed of on road sides causing environmental degradation, drainage problem and damaging agricultural land. To research the utilization of waste marble powder as a stabilizer to fortify the powerless regular sandy soil. The gradation curve of the sieve analysis shows that the soil is sandy associated with silt of low compressibility (SM- Silty Sand). The CBR (California Bearing Ratio) value and UCS (Unconfined Compressive Strength) of soil gives the clear idea about the quality of sub-grade material to that of required as per IRC (Indian Road Congress) Code. The CBR was carried out in soaked and un-soaked condition.
