Soil is very important in civil engineering constructions. The poor engineering properties of the local soils may present many difficulties for construction and therefore need to improve their engineering properties. Stabilization techniques can be used to improve the properties of soil. Soil stabilization improves various engineering properties e.g. bearing capacity, compressibility, strength, and various other properties of soil.

It got increased to 1.93 gm cc at OMC of 12.30 when Red Mud is increased from 0 to 20 is effective beyond also there is decreasing in MDD from 1.93 gm cc at OMC of 12.30 to 1.89 gm cc at OMC of 13.20 when Red Mud is increased from 20 to 30 . The CBR value increases with the addition of Red Mud till 20 , while it decreases beyond the limit 20 to 30 with addition of Red Mud. For both soaked and unsoaked condition.

ABSTRACT
Soil is very important in civil engineering constructions. The poor
engineering properties of the local soils may present many difficulties
for construction and therefore need to improve their engineering
properties. Stabilization techniques can be used to improve the
properties of soil. Soil stabilization improves various engineering
properties e.g. bearing capacity, compressibility, strength, and
various other properties of soil. In this study the impact of Red Mud
to improve the strength of soil.
The soil was stabilized with Red Mud in stepped concentration of
5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% by dry weight of the soil
individually. All stabilized soil samples were also cured for 96 hours
for CBR test in fully saturated condition. The test results indicate that
the addition of Red Mud enhances the percentage of grain size
distribution, but with addition of Red Mud till 20% the LL, PL,PI and
decreases, while these parameters further increases in this limit
beyond
i.e. 20% to 30% of Red Mud, but in the case of The optimal
percentage of Red Mud at which maximum CBR is achieved is
