Abstract
Expansive soils are those soil which have high rate of swelling. Hence the improvement of the soil properties has to be done. In this study, we are using of lime and geo synthetic material for stabilization of soil. Lime is an efficacious product to be mixed with fine grained soils with high plasticity and it improves certain properties of soil due to its chemical action. Stabilization of expansive soil with geo-textile will increase the stiffness and load bearing capacity of the soil through frictional interaction between the soil and geo-textile material. The lime is mixed in different percentages and reinforced with geo-textile by placing at certain depth with in sample height of four layers. In conclusion it shows an improvement of strength is in terms of CBR and peak load.
