The Use of Kaolin and Cement for Stabilization of Clay

Different ways in order to stabilize the soil and retrofit it to build huge buildings and structures on the ground and also to notify the sustainability of the soil base is always presented. This research paper focuses on the impact of Porcelain soil or kaolin, as well as Portland cement on soil stability, and these factors have been studied.This impact is evaluated by use of different tests such as direct shear test, standard density and infinite compressive stress on the sample clay. Result of these tests in the form of charts and tables shows the impact of using kaolin and cement on the different parameters of soil sample; such as dried density, optimum moisture, stress and strain made in it
