For the construction and establishment of any engineering structure like bridges, dams, roads, residential houses etc a stable substratum is required which is soil in most of the cases. The structure is so constructed that the loads are fully transmitted to the soil beneath and the soil supports the overlying structure without causing any damage. When the structure is founded on a very weak soil, the risks are very high as there are enormous chances of differential settlements owing to low shear capacity and high compressibility. Therefore as civil engineers it is our utmost concern to observe and test the geoengineering properties of soil before the commencement of the construction. The present research work aims on improving the geoengineering properties (especially the shear strength) of the soil which is considered the most reliable property from the construction point of view by adding lime. Thus the present study points out the use of lime to the soil as an additive to achieve the desired results of strength. In addition to its application to the soil, the lime can also be successfully employed to the roads and runways with specific standards. Thus the current investigation describes the behavioral aspect of soils blended with 1 percent, 2 percent, 5 percent, 9 percent and 13 percent lime to elevate the load resisting capacity of soil.
