After conducting experimental program, we have obtained results for specific gravity, moisture to dry the density ratio, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), and swelling potential. The study's results offer important information wherein the most significant result is that behaviors of swelling & decreasing were significantly improved. Ultimately, it was concluded that using 10% lime solution yielded most significant outcomes. To achieve effectiveness, combining it with porous soils & compact it under light loads is necessary to take under consideration.
