Due to the scarcity of good construction sites, it has become necessary for engineers to utilize weak soil deposits. This, however, needs to be done by providing a proper soil stabilization technique to the particular site. In this paper, an artificial soil prepared in the laboratory has been employed at different compositions of kaolinite (40%) and silt (60%). Since these man-made soils already have low engineering properties, thus stabilizing them would give us an idea about the potential of this technique. Waste marble dust (WMD) is produced in large quantities posing a threat to both the ecology and health of individuals. WMD is added to the soil in different percentages (7, 14 and 21) by dry weight of soil, and an investigation on the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and penetration resistance has been carried out. Curing of 7 days was also given to the UCS samples in order to determine the effect of cementation, which might have been resulted from the pozzolanic reaction of clay particles and WMD. Based on the test results of increased UCS and California bearing ratio (CBR) values, it was concluded that the WBD soil stabilization can be a sustainable eco-friendly soil improvement technique.
