“…The compaction characteristics and swelling behavior of the soil are analyzed through experiments such as the standard proctor test and free swell test. [9] Cellulose-based fibers, derived from agricultural waste products, have gained attention as a sustainable and effective solution for stabilizing expansive soils. These fibers offer advantages such as reinforcement capabilities, erosion control, soil improvement, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.…”

This review paper examines the efficacy of blending various materials for the enhancement of expansive soil behavior. Expansive soils, characterized by volumetric changes in response to moisture fluctuations, present significant challenges in engineering projects. The review explores the utilization of waste additives such as quarry dust, sawdust ash, glass powder, stone powder, marble dust, Lime and Polypropylene Fiber, plastic waste strips and waste brick powder Oil Shale Ash, cement kiln dust as well as innovative solutions including organic compounds and nano-materials. The effectiveness of each material blend in mitigating issues such as swelling, shrinkage, and cracking is analyzed. The study underscores the importance of material selection and optimal blending techniques in achieving desired improvements in soil properties. Additionally, the paper highlights the need for continued research and innovation to develop sustainable solutions for managing expansive soils in construction and geotechnical engineering endeavors.
