Abstract

Abstract: For civil engineers, the safe disposal of both hazardous and non-hazardous waste is a challenge. This is because just a few states can securely deposit agricultural trash. This study includes studies on the safe disposal of agricultural wastes such as wheat husk (WH), rice husk (RH), and sugarcane straw (SCS). In this study, attempts were undertaken to improve soil quality by employing WH, RH, and SCS. The primary goal of ground improvement is to increase shear strength and reduce soil compressibility.The investigation was done utilizing the expansive soil by taking variable volumes, which are then mixed with the different stabilized material for Atterberg limit tests and California bearing ratio (CBR) test. These tests are tested and proven using the standard tests IS 2720, and it is ultimately decided that the test results improve the geotechnical qualities of the soil.
