Paper Title
Micro structural Modification and Stabilization of Dispersive Soils Using Bagasse Ash

Abstract
Dispersive subgrade soils are one of the known causes of road failure. Replacement of dispersive soils with natural construction materials is an expensive and sometimes not economically viable solution. On the other hand, commonly used chemical stabilizations of dispersive soils are either costly or not environmentally friendly. This work investigates the use of SCBA as a stabilizer for dispersive soils. The results show that increasing the amount of SCBA up to 20% and the curing period to 21 days reduces the high plastic properties of dispersive soils and improves the Atterberg limits of these soils. Besides, SCBA stabilization enhances the strength and reduces the dispersive potentials of dispersive subgrade soils. SCBA stabilization also modifies and enhances the microstructure of dispersive soils.
