Abstract: Soil stabilization is a mean to enhance the engineering properties of soil such as shear strength, shrink-swell property and bearing capacity of the soil.It can be used to treat a wide range of soil from expansive clay to granular materials.The present investigation is to study the specific gravity, atter berg limits, shear strength, compaction behavior and bearing capacity of the soil using lime powder.Lime is the traditional material that had been used as a construction material.The mechanism of using lime as a stabilization material involves cation exchange which leads to the flocculation and agglomeration of soil particles.In this study, addition of lime was made between percentages of 0-10 and a optimum increase in the properties were obtained at the percentage of 8% lime in soil.
