Abstract: If good earth is not available at the construction site, it becomes imperative to opt for soil stabilization. Soil stabilization is a process to treat a soil to maintain or improve the performance of the soil as a construction material. The stabilizing agent improves the strength parameters of sub grade of road pavement and leads to strengthening of embankment. The objective of this paper is to review the applications of different stabilizing agents such as lime, fly ash, cement, rice husk, expanded polystyrene geofoam and waste paper sludge for different type of soil.
