The second-largest economic activity in India is the construction sector. Regularly, new structures are built, and outdated ones are destroyed. The goal of this research is to strengthen poor soil, such as Black Cotton soil, by using the debris from demolished buildings that were collected from construction components. Coarser building and demolition waste particles can be employed instead of smaller particles to increase the necessary qualities of weak soil. Use of appropriate waste materials as stabilizers can prove to be an efficient and cost-effective solution for stabilizing unstable soil. Testing must be done on debris from construction and demolition projects that are graded between 2.36mm and 4.75mm, as well as on black cotton soil. The best waste percentage to mix with soil for maximal strength enhancement can be determined by tests using different amounts of trash to soil (0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%).
