Abstract
Poor clayey soils mainly exhibit the property of swelling/shrinkage when they react to moisture variations. This property causes development of cracks in the structures resting on these soils which poses instability to the structures. Soil stabilization is a technique to enhance the geotechnical characteristics of poor clayey soils by changing their properties. Due to rapid growth in construction industry, a lot of waste material is being generated every day which poses problem of its disposal. If the waste material can be utilized for soil stabilization, it will mitigate the problems of its disposal. This study is an attempt to assess the efficacy of various waste materials such as construction waste and glass waste on numerous properties of soil. The tests results evaluate that the strength of the poor soils increased by use of these two waste materials.
