the help of addition of material. Stabilization of soil can be with mechanical method, chemical method and geosynthetic method, in this study the addition of cement and waste material i.e. marble dust for soil. With addition of mentioned materials the strength of soil is improved as per outcomes and the 12 percent addition of marble dust and 24 percent of cement values optimum. With the help of marble dust soil improves its properties and its uses give relaxation to environment. Dry density, optimum water content, California bearing ratio for socked and unsocked sample did the experiments to found the optimum values.

The following materials are used for the study:

2. LITERATURE REVIEW Much literature reviews available in this topic in which some important literatures are given below: Yadu, and Tripathi, (2013) [1] studied the effects of granulated blast furnace slag in the engineering behavior of stabilized soft soil. The performance of GBS stabilized soil was evaluated using physical and strength performance tests. Based on strength performance tests the optimum GBS was determined as 9% among 3%, 6%, 9% and 12%. Inclusion of GBS increases the strength of soil as well as the soaked and unsoaked CBR values.

Before starting the construction of any project, site selection is the fore most objective of engineering department. One of the main purposes of site selection or investigation is to determine stable and good quality soil where the construction is to be done. It also helps in collecting all the relevant information about soil and its properties. Afterwards, soil with the best quality is selected for construction so that it would result in better structure. Foundation is the main part of any construction and it largely depends upon the type of soil.

Cement

Marble dust is generated in large quantity during production, cutting, sawing and polishing process of marble and it is found that about 20% to 25% of original marble mass is lost in theform of dust.

Soil is a major component of the earth’s surface which sustains life. It is made up by the disintegration of rocks due to various environmental processes like changing weather, volcanic action, erosion of rocks by water etc. Some of the various types of soil that are found in our country are alluvial soil, laterite soil, black cotton soil or expansive soil etc. The type and availability of these soils are based upon the climatic and geographical location of a particular area. Apart from helping the plants grow, soil also helps the humans to carry out all the basic activities on it like travelling, construction, agriculture etc. A developing country like India demands rapid growth in its infrastructure i.e. a proper network of roads and buildings for development. All the constructions related to civil engineering, like a simple house or a multistorey building, a road or a highway, everything is built on the soil. It is very important to check all the engineering properties of the soil like the cohesion, capillarity, permeability etc before starting any constructional work on it because all the soils are not suitable for constructional ways.

Marble Dust

Commonly binding material used in concrete in cement. Easily availability is a big opportunity to its effective use. With the help of cement material used as a stabilizer in soil is to improve soil properties.
