low shear strength. When high swelling, high shrinkage and wet characteristics. This type of soil is damaging buildings, roads, and bridges every year in the world. So, the use of agriculture waste to improve the soil properties. The agricultural industries are generating large quantities of wastes. It is impact ore environment causes like water pollution, and air pollution. Rice husk ash and sugarcane bagasse ash from the mills. Rice husk ash contains good amount of amorphous silica which can be used as stabilizer. Sugarcane bagasse ash is rich in oxides of silica and aluminum. In this paper Rice husk ash are mixed different percentage (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) in soil and Sugarcane bagasse ash are mixed in different percentage (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) in soil and find MDD in both RHA and SCBA at 10% by Standard proctor test. And fixed 10% RHA and SCBA are treated with cement in different percentage (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%) and performed various tests like UCS test at curing periods (7,14, and 28) and CBR test. It is found that to increase shear strength and decrease compressibility of the soil

2. Materials 2.1 Bentonite soil Bentonite are naturally occurring consisting mostly of montmorillonite clay mineral. Sodium bentonites are generally for constructing landfill liners due its high swelling. And sodium bentonite soil is purchased from Pune and chemical properties are shown in table [11]. Table-1: Initial properties of bentonite.

Key Words: Bentonite Soil1, Rice husk ash2, Sugarcane bagasse ash3 and cement4.

1.INTRODUCTION In India the bentonite soil is found in Gujarat and Rajasthan. The sodium bentonite soil found in the Kutch district of Gujarat is very for swelling properties [1]. The agriculture waste material is a big problem in the developing country like India. These agriculture wastes are used in the form of stabilizing agent is the modern approach. The bentonite soil used in the study is a very problematic in nature for the construction of various infrastructures like pavements, foundation etc. [2]. During Monsoon season bentonite soil absorb water swells and become soft and dry season they become shrinks and become harder when evaporation of water and all these types of variation are looking in the soil. So, used waste materials RHA, SCBA is to improve the properties of the Bentonite soil.[3]. The SCBA (Sugarcane Bagasse Ash) results solving the problem and proves to be a cheaper stabilizer and RHA (Rice Husk Ash) is a very good super pozzolanic properties can bind soil particles together and reduce water absorption to the soil and result gives to increase in durability and strength of the soil. And for the heavy loaded vehicles, foundations need special care of the construction work so, use of cement OPC 43grade. The cement is blended in different percentage with soil and

2.2 Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) Sugarcane is used large industries and mills to make sugar by extract juice. Sugar is used as food product by every person and the waste produced creates a disposal problem. Many researchers are used of SCBA for the soil stabilization and binding the particles of the soil together by reducing the void ratio and increase the shear strength [4].
