Soil stabilization is widely adopted to improve the engineering performance of weak or unsuitable soils. This studyexperimentally investigates the use of sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), an agricultural waste material, for improving the compactioncharacteristics of soil. Naturally available sand was used as the soil material and SBA was incorporated at 1%, 2%, and 5% by thestudy program. Preliminary characterization included sieve analysis, specific gravity, direct shear testing, and standard Proctorcompaction testing. The specific gravity of the soil was reported as 2.68, while the natural soil exhibited an optimum moisture content(OMC) of 14% and a maximum dry density (MDD) of 1.80 g/cm³. The reported compaction results indicate that SBA additionchanges both OMC and MDD. For the mixtures, the reported optimum conditions were 14% OMC and 2.015 g/cm³ MDD for 1%SBA, 16% OMC and 1.875 g/cm³ MDD for 2% SBA based on the detailed test table, and 18% OMC and 1.825 g/cm³ MDD for 5%SBA. The report identifies 2% SBA as the optimum content based on its summarized comparison and concludes that SBA can providea cost-effective and environmentally beneficial route for soil improvement. A discrepancy between the detailed 2% SBA test tableand the summary table is noted and should be resolved before journal submission.Keywords—soil stabilization, sugarcane bagasse ash, agricultural waste, compaction, optimum moisture content, maximum drydensity, geotechnical engineering
