-Expansive clay soils are found all over the world and can seriously harm structures and
infrastructure. Expanding soils have been stabilized using a variety of techniques and stabilizers to make
them more useful for building. It's A comparison study describes an experimental study that aims to
improve the mechanical qualities of expanding soil by stabilizing it using three different stabilizers, such
as calcite, plaster of Paris (POP) and tile bond. The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test is
carried out at room temperature and 14 days after close curing. The strength of UCS in expansive soil has
increased. Plaster of Paris shows a significant strength rise, increasing from 270kPa to 485kPa 80% with
3% addition and by 64% at 5%. At 7% addition, calcite shows an increase of 412 kPa, resulting in a 52%
strength gain. While applying 5% tile bond, the 415kPa strength decreases and then increases by 53%.
