In this study the investigational results obtained in the laboratory on expansive soils treated with low-cost materials i.e, lime and press mud are used. It is conducted to check the signs of progress in the properties of expansive soil with Press Mud and lime in varying percentages. The test results such as the Unconfined compression test, liquid limit, plastic limit, shrinkage limit, hydrometer analysis and pH obtained on expansive clays mixed with different proportions of lime and press mud are presented and discussed in this work. From the demonstrated result the addition of Press mud with lime in soil stabilization improves the Unconfined Compressive strength of the soil when compared to lime stabilization alone. The index properties of the soil have also been marginally improved due to the addition of Press mud as an admixture.
