The present study focuses on the impact of conventional ground improvement techniques on the environment, supporting the argument with documentary evidence and alternatives to these techniques. The study aims at testing the effectiveness of natural materials such as CHEBULA in powder form as soil Stabilizer. Chebula is also known as Terminalia, the process involves mixing lime and chebula with clay soil to improve the soil's engineering properties, such as Strength, Plasticity, and Bearing capacity. Either in part or whole in the process of soil stabilization index properties, UCS and California bearing ratio test be analysed. The combination of lime and chebula powder has been adopted for use in soil stabilization, the material has been adopted for its capacity in soil stabilization by testing the index and engineering properties of the soil after the addition of material. The addition of lime and chebula powder to the soil (1:1, 2:1 & 3:1) results in a decrease in liquid limit indicating improved soil properties while adding 15% of chebula and Lime to decrease in plasticity indicates improved stability of the soil, The combination of lime & chebula produces high compaction density will indicates the most effective stabilizing agent and optimal dosage, the L: C increases the study of soil in UCS and Bearing capacity that increases the soil stabilizing characteristics of the clay soil.
