The effectiveness of the addition of RBI Grade 81 (stabilizer) (dosages of 2, 4, 6, and 8%) to stabilize the largely encountered lateritic soil during construction was investigated. Stabilized lateritic soil mixes were evaluated by conducting a series of experiments, viz., standard and modified compaction, unconfined compressive strength, and California bearing ratio at various curing periods. Mixes under both standard and modified compaction energies have shown the highest density at a 6% stabilizer dosage. A remarkable increase in unconfined compressive strength was observed for the specimens prepared at a 6% stabilizer dosage corresponding to the modified compaction density. An increase in the percentage of stabilizer has increased the California bearing ratio of treated mixes. Exorbitant increase in the soaked California bearing ratio values of the stabilized mixes was observed for higher dosages (6 and 8%). Hence, RBI Grade 81 amended lateritic soil mixes enhance the strength of the subgrade.
