The utilization of environmentally friendly materials in soil stabilization has grown in the last decade. Recent studies have shown that adding urease enzyme in calcium chloride and urea solution will improve the shear strength properties of sand. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the usage of clay to improve the performance of calcite produced in the mixture of urease enzyme and calcium chloride-urea solution. This mixture is then mixed manually with the clay-sand mixture and its effect is further tested using a direct shear test conducted at every two weeks of curing. The test is carried out to determine the development of the shear strength properties of the stabilized sand. The results from the test show that there is a rise in the cohesion value of the sand due to the addition of the clay mixture.
