Soil stabilization is a critical technique in geotechnical engineering, aimed at enhancing the properties of soil to improve its strength, stability, and durability. This study investigates the use of natural materials—egg shell powder (ESP), rice husk ash (RHA), and tamarind kernel powder (TKP)—as sustainable alternatives to traditional soil stabilizers. These materials, derived from waste products, are environmentally friendly, locally available, and cost-effective. Laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the impact of varying proportions of ESP, RHA, and TKP on soil stabilization. Results indicate that the addition of these natural stabilizers significantly improved soil strength, reduced plasticity, enhanced compaction, and lowered permeability. The combination of ESP, RHA, and TKP demonstrated a notable increase in UCS and a reduction in swelling behavior, making it particularly beneficial for clayey and expansive soils. Moreover, the use of waste materials provides an eco-friendly solution to the disposal of agricultural by-products. The study concludes that natural materials like ESP, RHA, and TKP offer an effective, sustainable, and cost-efficient alternative for soil stabilization, with the potential for widespread application in construction and infrastructure projects
