INTRODUCTION
The geotechnical properties of BFS and fly ash were then revealed through laboratory experiments. Standard proctor test was also conducted to obtain optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density (MDD) of fly ash. BFS, fly ash, lime, and RBI grade 81 were studied under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to obtain magnified pictures of the particles.
Samples were then prepared by mixing BFS and fly ash with different percentages at an interval of 10% and standard proctor test was performed to get optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density (MDD). Stabilized samples were prepared by mixing BFS and fly ash with different percentages with an interval of 10% and with stabilizer lime and RBI grade 81 with increasing percentage of ash and 8%.

Electrofly ash is very similar to volcanic ash, which was used in the production of the earliest known hydraulic cements about 2,300 years ago. Electrofly ash is the best known and one of the most widely used pozzolans in the world. Molten slag, which absorbs much of the sulfur from the filler, comprises about 20 percent by weight of iron production.
The long-term performance of any construction project depends on the soundness of the underlying soils. The mineralogical properties of the soils determine their degree of reactivity with lime and the ultimate strength that the stabilized layers will develop. The aim of the project is to use industrial waste of blast furnace slag (BFS) and fly ash collected from the Rourkela steel mill instead of natural soil in the construction of roads and highways, after the strength, bearing capacity, volume stability and its durability have been increased by the method of stabilization using lime and RBI grade 81.
The dry density obtained in each test is determined by knowing the mass of. The compacted soil is taken out of the mold and re-mixed with increased water content (with 4.

The stabilized samples were prepared in their respective OMC and MDD with different compositions of BFS and fly ash with an interval of 10% and with stabilizers lime and RBI class 81 with increasing percentage as and 8%. Initially, a standard proctor test was performed to obtain the OMC and MDD of fly ash and a specific gravity test was also performed for both fly ash and BFS. The specific gravity of fly ash and BFS was found to be 2.51 and 2.78 respectively.
A standard proctor test was performed on samples mixed with different percentages of fly ash composition and BFS at 10% interval to determine OMC and MDD.

Variation of OMC and MDD with BFS and fly ash content
- Variation of OMC with fly ash content
- Variation of MDD with fly ash content
- Variation of OMC with BFS content
- Variation of MDD with BFS content
It is due to the fact that fly ash is hollow, the maximum dry density decreases linearly. It is due to the fact that fly ash has a hollow structure and thus has a low density. This is due to the fact that low-density fly ash content density (MDD) gradually increases.
This is due to the fact that the low-density fly ash content decreases and the high-density BFS increases, so that the MDD increases.
