In this paper the potential of introducing alkali activated fly ash to a clayey soil as stabilizing agent was investigated. As alkaline activator Potassium hydroxide of 12 M was introduced to the soil fly ash mixtures. Unconfined compressive strength tests were carried out. Four different fly ash/solid ratios were proposed to be 10 %, 20 %, 30 % and 40 % at two curing regimes of 7 & 28 days. The highest unconfined compressive strength was of 40 % mixture recorded at 3.68 MPa after 28 days. Alkaline activation of clayey soil using KOH solution as an activator proved to be a feasible alternative for soft soil stabilization.
