Abstract
A building construction must be built on the soil with good bearing capacity. Increasing of bearing capacity of the soil can be done by adding material of soil stabilizer. Bamboo charcoal powder was used in this study as a stabilizer for clay. The percentage of the addition of bamboo charcoal powder to clay soil in this study was 5%, 10%, and 15%. The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test was carried out on original clay and stabilized clay to determine the bearing capacity of the soil. The results of this study as showed an increase in the CBR value of each percentage of the addition of bamboo charcoal powder. The highest CBR value was the addition of 15% bamboo charcoal powder with an increase in the CBR value of the original clay by 82.87%. The increase in the CBR value of the soil indicates that there is an increase in the bearing capacity of the clay due to the addition of bamboo charcoal powder
