In this research, an attempt is made to understand the impact on strength characteristics of expansive soil treated with Road Building International Grade-81 (RBI-Grade-81) stabilizer. This stabilizer has a wide response spectrum range. A broad range of studies, such as Atterberg limit, Compaction, Unconfined compressive strength (UCS), and California bearing ratio (CBR) measures, are demonstrated on expansive soil and it is treated with percentages varying between 2 and 10% of RBI-Grade-81. Due to the creation of new cement materials, which is apparent in the SEM research micrographs, the improvement in intensity is achieved. The results suggest that considered stabiliser is effective in enhancing the engineering properties of expansive soil. � 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
