Press mud is the compressed sugar industry waste produced during filtration of cane juice. Press mud has lots of applications like fertilisers, for extraction of chemicals, as biosorbent, animal feed and in manufacture of cement. In this work, an effort has been made to open up the avenue of soil stabilisation, for the utilisation of sugarcane press mud as an additive to lime. Unconfined compression test samples were prepared with lime as stabiliser with and without press mud and cured for different periods. The samples were axially loaded until failure to study the effect of press mud on the strength of lime stabilised soil. The samples used for unconfined compression tests were then crushed and pulverised for performing the Atterberg limits and pH tests. The results indicated that addition of press mud to lime increased the strength of lime-stabilised soil and reduced its plasticity characteristics.
