This paper brings out the results of experimental work carried out in the laboratory toevaluate the effectiveness of using bottom ash with geogrid for soil stabilization by studying thecompaction and strength characteristics for use as a sub-grade material. Bottom ash is a wastematerial which is obtained from thermal power plants. This waste imposes hazardous effect onenvironment and human health. This material cannot be disposed of properly and their disposalis not economical. Utilization by exploiting their inherent properties is the one of the way tosolve the above stated problem. The effect of mixing different proportions of bottom ash withgeogrid in clayey soil on compaction, UCS and California bearing ratio have been studied inthis study.
