Abstract
The main purpose of this experimental study is to know the effect of improvement of soft soil by mixing it with granular materials on the properties of soft soil. The soil model was brought from a one construction project in Karbala, Iraq. Routine tests were carried out on the soft soil model alone, as well as for soft soil with specific percentage of granular materials. The model of cylindrical shape laboratory dimensions of 250 mm in diameter with a height of 300 mm. Eight different shear strength were used for laboratory model tests. Static loading tests were carried out on these model tests. It was found from results of model tests of improved soil that the averaged value of settlement reduction is 0.61 for all model tests, where the bearing capacity is increased by 31%.
