Abstract: The clay soil is a problematic soil which cannot be directly used for the construction of structures because it has high shrinkage. Various techniques are available to stabilize the soil to make better foundation for structures. Soil stabilization is the process of improving the engineering properties of the soil and thus making it more stable. This project deal with stabilization of clay soil by usingMetakaolin like with constant proportion of 10%, 20%, 30% and granite powder with proportionsof 10%, 20%, 8%.After the conclusion made from the laboratory test liquid limit, Plastic limit, MDD, OMC and CBR test value are to be determined. CBR value increase the bearing capacity of the soil. From these tests it increases the strength and it improves the improves the behavior of the Expansive soil using these admixtures.
