The need for cost-effective methods to cope with the demands of expanding road networks in India is particularly crucial due to limited fiscal resources. Utilizing locally available soil as granular layers in pavement construction can significantly reduce construction costs. This approach involves the use of stabilizers, which offer an economical solution for pavement construction and maintenance. Addressing the issue of waste disposal generated by industries is another important aspect. By repurposing these waste materials for engineering purposes, the problems associated with disposal and environmental impact can be mitigated.

INTRODUCTION
The utilization of concrete and mortar as cost-effective, durable, and structurally strong building materials makes them highly desirable for construction . Their malleability in their fresh state allows for easy shaping according to specific requirements. However, the inherent weaknesses such as low tensile strength, susceptibility to moisture fluctuations, and vulnerability to failure necessitate the use of fiber reinforcement to overcome these limitations in a practical and affordable manner. Fiber reinforcement, especially with polypropylene fibers, significantly improves key qualities of these materials, including flexural strength, durability, fatigue resistance, impact permeability, and abrasion resistance. The ceramic industry faces challenges in waste disposal, with ceramic waste being irresponsibly dumped, leading to environmental pollution and land occupation issues. By incorporating ceramic waste into concrete, significant cost savings, energy efficiency, and reduced environmental impact can be achieved. Additionally, the development of new concrete technologies, such as using pozzolanic materials and nanotechnology, presents opportunities to reduce the reliance on natural resources and improve overall

In a pavement section, bituminous layers are typically placed over a base and/or sub-base, which are compacted on a suitable subgrade. The soil subgrade plays a critical role in the pavement section, as inadequate bearing capacity can lead to rutting in the granular base and subbase layers, eventually resulting in fatigue cracking in the bituminous layers. Therefore, improving the properties and performance of the soil subgrade is essential for ensuring the longevity and stability of the pavement structure.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
In this study, OPC Grade 43 cement was selected as the type of cement used [22]. Fine aggregates were obtained from Standard Ennore sand, while crushed stone with a maximum graded aggregate size of 12.5mm was used. The concrete mixture adhered to the guidelines set by the Indian standard code IS 456-2000, which specifies the use of potable water for concrete production [23]. Sand classification was conducted following the standards outlined in IS 383 (1970). All materials were
