In the present study, unconfined compression tests (UCC) and directs shear tests (DST) were conducted on a sand gravel mixture stabilized with different proportions of cement. Ordinary Portland cement was used as the binding agent, added to the sand at 1%, 2%, and 3% with respect to its dry weight. Relative density of 70% is maintained throughout the study. In this study, unconfined compression tests and directs shear tests were conducted to assess the influence of the cement content on the engineering properties of the material. Numerical Analyses were performed illustrating rigid foundation on these stabilized soil which shows greater influence in the settlement of foundation. Centre, middle of the edges and corners of the rigid foundation are the point of interest in the study of settlement characteristics. The increase in the strength properties of soil shows decrease in settlement characteristics.
