Soil properties play an important role in any architectural and civil engineering marvel. Soil stabilization is the process by which engineering properties of soil such as Liquid limit, Plastic limit, Plasticity index, Optimum moisture content (OMC), Maximum dry density (MDD), CBR value, and specific gravity can be altered as per the requirements. There are numerous soil stabilizing agents available in the market. In our research paper, we have shown the comparative study of changes occurred in the engineering properties of soil when stabilized by GEOPOLYMERS and when stabilized by LIME. GEOPOLYMERS are largely produced from the raw materials which are industrial waste. Hence, it helps in reducing the carbon footprint and eventually contributing in sustainable development. Moreover, it helps in reducing the industrial waste. Lime on the other hand is easily available and has minimum negative impact on the environment. With the help of results shown in this research paper, one can easily bifurcate and choose the better stabilizing agent to get the desired soil parameters.
