Stabilization of clay soil has been carried out for improving its engineering properties of soil. To stabilize the clayey soil use Brick Kiln Dust of and waste Coir Fibre, an experiment is conducted to evaluate the properties of soil mixing with 10%, 20% &30% percentage of Brick Kiln Dust and Coir Fibre contents of 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0% by weight of soil sample and then the tests are performed. Tests conducted for clayey soil mixed with Brick Kiln Dust and Coir Fibre are Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, Compaction (OMC & MDD), and California Bearing Ratio (CBR). Flexible pavements sections were degined for non-stabilized and stabilized subgrades to be standard axles traffic intensities. The preamble of brick kiln dust and coir fiber is analyzed to improve the features of expansion subgrade materials and other sub-base materials. Also design the thickness of pavement when it is stabilized with optimized brick kiln dust and coir fiber. The results reveal that CBR value increased with increase of Brick Kiln Dust and Coir fibre. The soil stabilization treatment significantly improved the engineering properties of the soil, and reduced the pavement thickness and also cost of the project.


Soil stability is a significant criterion in the field of development, for soil which needs adequate steadiness, different adjustment strategies can be embraced. The entrenched methods of soil adjustment regularly utilize such establishing operators like cement. Substitution of solidifying substance with commercial or agriculture outcome is profoundly attractive. Rice husk ash is an extremely prospective agriculture dissipates as pozzolanic materials that bring about a prevalent property after joined with lime. Also, coconut fibre is well known for its durability and high resistance and gives well establishing results when combined with lime and rice husk ash. This study worked on the experimental investigation of clayey soil with admixtures like lime, rice husk ash and coconut fibre. This study included the calculation of properties of the soil as consistency limits and strength characteristics. Clay type of soil is used in this study. In view of compaction, expansion of lime, RHA and coconut fibre diminishes the dry density and expands the moisture content. From the perspective of strength characteristics and economical terms, expansion of 6% lime, 8 % RHA and 1 % coconut fibre are prescribed as ideal value for subgrade soil adjustment
