Abstract


Soil is one in all the nature’s most abundant construction materials. The majority style of construction is built with or upon the soil. If the sub grade isn't enough sensible, the complete structure can face failure like cracks. So, the sub grade is often replaced with stronger material so as to improve the strength however this can be not economical. During this project the strength of soil is exaggerated by adding hydrocarbon emulsion rather than substitution with stronger soil. The initial strength of the soil is decided by conducting soil tests like sieve analysis, plastic limit, liquid limit, shrinkage limit, changed proctor compaction check and California bearing quantitative relation tests. The results obtained are then compared with the soil treated with 10%, 20% and 25% of bitumen emulsion
