Abstract - In the field of civil engineering, stabilization of soil is a procedure to improve and enhance the engineering properties of soil in such a manner that it can withstand heavy loads without any failure. In a well-organized environment, disposal of waste poses a great threat as regards where and how to effectively dispose the waste material without any harmful effect to society. In the recent times, utilization of solid waste materials in soil stabilization has gained eminence as an effective means to manage wastes generated from various industries. In this paper, a review is given on utilization of different solid waste materials which have been used to stabilize soft soils. Though, there are lots of methods and techniques are available to stabilize these soil. This study provides how waste materials can be used to stabilize the soft soil. The increasing construction cost of conventional stabilizers as well as requirement for the cheap consumption of industrial and agricultural wastes for valuable trade has provoked an exploration into the stabilizing prospective of Bagasse Ash and Sisal Fiber for highly compressible clayey soil. Today, sustainable construction is in demand hence the new studies focused on trends of sustainable utilization of resources. To achieve we can use waste products, natural and biodegradable resources. In this study an extensive lab work have been done to investigate the utilization of agricultural, industrial waste and natural fibers for enhancing the engineering properties of the moderately compressible clay. This study aimed to access the appropriateness of Bagasse Ash and Sisal Fiber for stabilization of clayey soil. Consistency limits, Maximum Dry Density.
