Soil stabilization is the process which involves enhancing the physical and Geotechnical properties of the soil in order to improve its strength, durability etc. by blending or mixing with different materials or additives. In the present situation as the industrialization and urbanization is taking place has generated many wastes. This leads to depleting landfill space, soil contamination and many other hazardous effects, hence in this study utilization of waste (i.e., bagasse and LDPE) for improving the soil pro perties is made. In this study behavior of black cotton soil is studied by using bagasse and Plastic as stabilizing agent. Under this study laboratory experiments are carried out for different percentages (7%, 9% and 11%) of bagasse and (1%, 2% and 3%) of Plastic. After that Both materials are mixed together with proportion of (7% BA+1% Plastic, 9% BA+2% Plastic, 11% BA+ 3% Plastic) with Black Cotton Soil. By performing the series of tests on Black Cotton Soil with using this stabilizing agent. Results of the CBR tests demonstrated that the inclusion of plastic and bagasse in Black Cotton Soil improves the strength of the soil especially with 7% Bagasse + 1% Plastic. Furthermore, the plasticity index decreased from 33.24 to 22.01%. The maximum dry density of the specimen increased from 1.32 to 1.92 g/cc. But with further addition of material the maximum dry density slightly decreased with increased in optimum moisture content. By using Bagasse and Plastic the Unconfined compressive strength of soil also improved. The outcomes of these tests demonstrate that stabilization of expansive soils using bagasse and plastic can improve the strength.
