In order for the foundation of building to be strong, the soil around it plays a critical role. So, researcher or engineer should have thorough knowledge about the factors affecting behaviour of soil which can be altered by the process of soil stabilisation. This study aims to investigate the applicability of SCBA (Sugarcane Bagasse Ash) to stabilize the clayey soil. Sugar factories produce waste after extraction of sugarcane gets brunt and the ash, hence produced is known as bagasse ash. Soil is treated with partial replacement of cement (3%, 6%, 9% and 12%) and with bagasse ash (2%, 4%, 6%and 8%). A total of 45 specimens were prepared in this study. Later those test specimens were evaluated for compaction properties. The results found after thorough study was that there was increase in the compaction properties with percentage increase in Sugarcane Bagasse Ash up to certain limit.
