ABSTRACT: In developing countries like India, Industrialization is rising rapidly, and alsoa great paucity of land is there, the demand for exploitation of industrialwasteswhich coming from industries is increasing. From geotechnical perspective,fly ash, granite and quarry waste, cement kiln dust, silica fume, rice husk etc.are the waste materialswhichhave effectual features requisites by an excellent soil stabilization admixture. Stabilization using solid wastes is one of the differentmethods of treatment, to improve the engineering properties and make itsuitable for construction. This paper briefs about the recent trends in stabilization of expansive soil using industrial waste (granite and quarry waste, cement kilndust, silica fume, rice husk) as stabilizers for decreasing the environmentalhazards.
