Abstract - The growth of the population has created a need
for better and economical vehicular operation which requires
good highway having proper geometric design, pavement
condition and maintenance. The highways have to be
maintained so that comfort, convenience and safety are
provided to the travelling public. Hence, it is necessarytohave
a proper diagnostic study of the soil to be used as a subgrade.
Sustainable developmentcannotbedone withoutintroduction
of new technology. Bio-Enzymes have come to the market
which can be used as stabilizing agent. Bio-Enzyme is a
natural, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-corrosive liquid
enzyme formulation fermented from vegetable extracts that
improves the engineering properties of soil, facilitates higher
soil compaction and increases strength. One such stabilizing
agent is Terrazyme, which is used in the present investigation
to further stabilize blended soil. Terrazyme is a natural, non-
toxic liquid, formulated using vegetable extracts. In this
experimental study, three different soil samples such as red
soil, marine soil and clay soil have been selected and collected.
Various laboratory testshavebeenconductedtodeterminethe
physical, index and mechanical properties of soil samples. The
selected soil samples havebeenstabilizedusingbio-enzymesin
three different dosages such as 0.5 ml, 1 ml, 1.5 ml for every 5
kg of soil samples. The prepared soil samples are allowed for
curing periods of 1 and 7 days. The physical, index and
mechanical properties of these modified soil samples have
been determined using various laboratory tests. The best
modified soil samples have been selected in each type of soil
based on its strength, economic and feasiblecriteriatobe used
as a subgrade soil for highway pavements.

1. INTRODUCTION
The unconsolidated mineral material ofearthcrustisknown
as soil. The soil may also contain air, water, organic matter,
consisting of more or less decomposed remains lot of plants
and animal organism and other substance which remain
dispersed throughout the mineral particles of the soil.
According to IS: 2809-1972, soil is defined as, "sediments or
other unconsolidated accumulation of solid particles
produced by the physical and chemical disintegration of
rocks which may or may not contain organic matter. Thus
soil is non-homogeneous, porous and extremely variable in
its composition as well as in properties. The loads from any
structure have to be ultimately transmitted to a soil through
the foundation for the structure. Thus, the foundation is an
important part of a structure, the type and details of which
can be decided upon only with the knowledge and
application of the principles of soil mechanics. Soil not only
forms the foundation of road pavements but also is the
principal material used for their construction. Since there is
a wide variation in soil types, an adequate knowledge of the
properties of different types of soil is, therefore, essential for
proper design and construction of road pavements.
1.1 Types of Soil
India is a country of vast dimensions with varied conditions
of geology, relief, climateandvegetation.Therefore,Indiahas
a large variety of soil groups, distinctly different from one
another. DifferentcriteriahavebeenappliedtoclassifyIndian
soils, the outstanding being geology, relief, fertility, chemical
composition and physical structure, etc.., The Indian council
of Agricultural Research(ICAR) setupanAllIndiaSoilSurvey
Committee in 1953 which divided the Indian soils into eight
major groups. They are alluvial soil, black soil, red soil,
laterite soil, mountain soil, desert soil, etc..,
1.2 Properties of Soil
The soil has some of the special properties in it and they are
physical properties and mechanical properties. Some of the
physical properties are colour, structure, texture, atterberg
limits and consistency. The mechanical properties of soil
includes bearing capacity, shear strength, permeability,
maximum dry density and optimummoisturecontentofsoil.
1.3 Soil Stabilization
Soil Stabilization is the alteration of soils to enhance their
physical properties. Stabilization can increase the shear
strength of a soil and/or control the shrink-swell properties
of a soil, thus improving the load bearing capacity of a sub-
grade to support pavements and foundations. These include
increasing the shear strengthofanexistinggroundcondition
to enhance its load-bearing capacity, achieve a desired
improved permeability and enhancethedurabilityofthesoil
to resistance to the process of weathering, and traffic usage
among others. There are various methods available for
stabilization of soil. It includes mechanical stabilization, use
of geosynthetics for soil stabilization and chemical
admixture stabilization.

1.4 Bio-Enzymes
Bio-enzyme is a natural, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-
corrosive liquid enzyme formulation fermented from
vegetable extracts that improves the engineeringqualitiesof
soil, facilitates higher soil compaction densities and
increases stability. Enzyme catalyze the reactions between
the clay and the organic cat-ions and accelerate the cat-ionic
exchange process to reduce adsorbed layer thickness. Bio-
Enzymes are chemicals, organic and liquid concentrated
substances which are used to improve the stability of soil of
soil sub base of pavement structures. Bio-enzyme is
convenient to use, safe, effective and dramatically improves
road quality. For other types of chemical stabilization,
chemicals are mixed with soil, which is difficult to mix
thoroughly, but bio-enzyme is easy to use as it can be mixed
with water at optimum moisture content and then it is
sprayed over soil and compacted.Theavailablebio-enzymes
are Perrazyme, Terrazyme, etc..,
2. NEED FOR STUDY
Soil is one of the vital resources which is obtained by
weathering of rock. The nature of soil in a place is largely
influenced by such factors as climate, natural vegetation and
rocks. The formation of swellingsoilisgenerallyattributedto
sedimentation and environmental conditions in geological
past. They are prone to have low shear strength. Because of
this alternate swelling and shrinkage, structures erected on
them are severally damaged.These technical problemsleads
to the study of soil stabilization in different soils using bio-
enzyme treated for various curing periods.

7. SELECTION OF BIOENZYME
Bio-enzyme is a natural, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-
corrosive liquid enzyme formulation fermented from
vegetable extracts that improves the engineeringqualitiesof
soil, facilitates higher soil compaction densities and
increases stability. The available bio-enzymes are
Perrazyme, Terrazyme, Earthzyme, etc.., The bio-enzyme
which has been used in this project is “Terrazyme”.
TerraZyme is a natural, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-
corrosive liquid enzyme formulation fermented from
vegetable extracts that improves the engineeringproperties
of soil; facilitate better workability of soil and increases
stability by catalyzing the reactionsbetweentheclayandthe
organic cations and accelerate the cationic exchangeprocess
to reduce adsorbed layer thickness. TerraZyme is specially
formulated to modify the engineering properties of soil.
Terrazyme are liquid additives, which act on the soil to
reduce the voids between soil particles and to minimize the
absorbance of water to the soil particles to maximize
compaction. The enzymes react with the organic matter
(humid matter) in the soil to form cementitious material.
This decreases the swelling capacity of the soil particles and
reduces permeability. A commercially available organic,
enzyme based stabilizer known as TerraZyme is used as
additive to the soil. This bio-enzyme has been collectedfrom
the Avijeet Agencies, Chennai, India.
7.1 Properties of Terrazyme
TerraZyme replaces adsorbed water with organic cations,
thus neutralizing the negative charge on a clay particle. The
properties of the Terrazyme are tabulated as follows:

8. PREPARATION OF MODIFIED SAMPLES
The modified samples have beenpreparedusingtheselected
bio-enzyme. Terrazyme is added to the control soil samples
in three different dosages such as 0.5 ml, 1 ml and 1.5 ml for
every 5 kg of the soil samples. The mixed and prepared soil
samples have been kept aside for a curing periods of 1 day
and 7 days. Terrazyme is applied to the surface of the dry
soil sample. The required bio-enzyme is taken in a hydraulic
syringe and applied to the soil. Then, the soil mixed
thoroughly in such a way that the applied bio-enzyme is
evenly distributed throughout the soil sample. It is added in
three different dosages such as 0.5 ml / 5 kg, 1 ml / 5 kg and
1.5 ml / 5kg of samples. Two sets of modified soil samples
for each soil in all the three dosages of bio-enzyme is
prepared. One set has been kept aside for the curing period
of 1 day. The other set has been kept for the curing period of
7 days.

10. STRENGTH ANALYSIS
Soils consist of individual particles that can slide and roll
relative to one another. Shearstrength of a soil is equal tothe
maximum value of shear stressthatcanbemobilizedwithina
soil mass without failuretaking place. The shearstrengthofa
soil is a function of the stresses applied to it as well as the
manner in which these stresses are applied. A knowledge of
shear strength of soils is necessary to determine the bearing
capacity of foundations, the lateral pressure exerted on
retaining walls, and the stability of slopes. Sometimes it is
cheaper to take the undisturbed soil sample and test its
strength in the laboratory. Also to choose the best material
forthe embankment, one has to conduct strengthtestsonthe
samples selected. Under theseconditionsitiseasytoperform
the unconfined compression test on undisturbed and
remoulded soil sample.
10.1 UCS of Soil Samples
The unconfined compressive strength (qu) is the load per
unit area at which the cylindrical specimen of a cohesive soil
falls in compression. The primary purpose of the Unconfined
Compression Test is to quickly determine a measure of the
unconfined compressive strength of rocks or fine-grained
soils that possess sufficient cohesion to permit testing in the
unconfined state. As per the calculated values, the UCS value
of modified red soil (1.5 ml) sample treated at 1 day curing is
more among the 1 day values. Similarly, the UCS value of
modified marine soil (1 ml) sample at 1 day curing is more
among the 1 day values. The UCS value of modified clay soil
(1.5 ml) sample is more among the 1 day values. The clay soil
sample treated at 1 day with 1.5 ml of dosage has more UCS
value among the overall 1 day values. As per the calculated
values, the UCS value of modified red soil (1 ml & 1.5 ml)
samples treated at 7 days curing is more among the 7 day
values. Similarly, the UCS value of modifiedmarinesoil(1ml)
sample at 7 days curing is more among the 7 daysvalues.The
UCS value of modified clay soil (1.5 ml) sample is more
among the 7 days values. The clay soil sample treated at 7
days with 1.5 ml of dosage has more UCS value among the
overall 7 days values.
Chart-1: UCS Values of Soil Samples
From the above chart, the UCS value of modified clay soil has
significance increment in strength. Among all the values of
UCS, the modified clay soil sample has the highest UCS value
of 440 kPa.

10.2 CBR Values of Soil Samples
The CBR is a measure of resistance of a material to
penetrationofstandardplungerundercontrolleddensityand
moisture conditions. CBR is the ratio of force per unit area
required to penetrate a soil mass with standard circular
piston at the rate of 1.25 mm/min. to that required for the
corresponding penetration of a standard material. The
california bearing ratio test is penetration test meant for the
evaluation of subgrade strength of roadsandpavements.The
results obtained by these tests are used with the empirical
curves to determine the thickness of pavement and its
component layers.
Chart 2: CBR Values of Soil Samples
From the above consolidated chart, it is observed that, the
CBR values of all the modified soil samples which have been
modified using 1.5 ml / 5 kg dosage of bio-enzyme has more
than the other combinations. Among all the values, the
modified red and clay soilsamples treated at 7 days ofcuring
has more CBR value.

12. CONCLUSION
Engineers often face the problem of constructing facilities
on or with soils, which do not possess sufficient strength to
support the loads imposed upon them either during
construction or during the service life of the structure. The
poor engineering performance of such soils has forced
Engineers to attempt to improve the engineering properties
of poor quality soils. Soil stabilization is the alterationofone
or more soil properties to create an improved soil material
possessing the desired engineering properties. Recently
many Bio-enzymes have emergedascosteffectivestabilizers
for soil stabilization. Three different types of soil have been
selected and collected. Various laboratory tests have been
conducted on all the three soil samples to determine
physical, index and mechanical properties of the soil
samples. From the UCS and CBR values of the samples, it has
been concluded that the clay and red soil is more suitable as
a soil subgrade material for highwaypavements.The marine
soil sample is more suited as a subgrade material when
treated with 1.5 ml / 5 kg of bio-enzyme dosage with curing
periods of 7 days. The combination of this marine soil
sample will be more economical in design. Thus, the
stabilized soil samples can be used as a subgrade material
for the construction of highway pavements.
13. FUTURE SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH WORK
Directions of future research includes the analysis of
strength parameters such as UCS and CBR values in the
modified samples with placement of geo-synthetics such as
geogrids, geocells, geonets, geotextiles at alternate depths.
This will give further more strength characteristics in the
selected soil samples.

The highways have to be maintained so that comfort, convenience and safety are provided to the travelling public. Hence, it is necessarytohave a proper diagnostic study of the soil to be used as a subgrade. Sustainable developmentcannotbedone withoutintroduction of new technology. Bio-Enzymes have come to the market which can be used as stabilizing agent. Bio-Enzyme is a natural, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-corrosive liquid enzyme formulation fermented from vegetable extracts that improves the engineering properties of soil, facilitates higher soil compaction and increases strength. One such stabilizing agent is Terrazyme, which is used in the present investigation to further stabilize blended soil. Terrazyme is a natural, non- toxic liquid, formulated using vegetable extracts. In this experimental study, three different soil samples such as red soil, marine soil and clay soil have been selected and collected. Various laboratory testshavebeenconductedtodeterminethe physical, index and mechanical properties of soil samples. The selected soil samples havebeenstabilizedusingbio-enzymesin three different dosages such as 0.5 ml, 1 ml, 1.5 ml for every 5 kg of soil samples. The prepared soil samples are allowed for curing periods of 1 and 7 days. The physical, index and mechanical properties of these modified soil samples have been determined using various laboratory tests. The best modified soil samples have been selected in each type of soil based on its strength, economic and feasiblecriteriatobe used as a subgrade soil for highway pavements. Key Words: Stabilization; Soil Properties; Bio-Enzyme; Terrazyme 1. INTRODUCTION The unconsolidated mineral material ofearthcrustisknown as soil. The soil may also contain air, water, organic matter, consisting of more or less decomposed remains lot of plants and animal organism and other substance which remain dispersed throughout the mineral particles of the soil. According to IS: 2809-1972, soil is defined as, "sediments or other unconsolidated accumulation of solid particles produced by the physical and chemical disintegration of rocks which may or may not contain organic matter. Thus soil is non-homogeneous, porous and extremely variable in its composition as well as in properties. The loads from any structure have to be ultimately transmitted to a soil through the foundation for the structure. Thus, the foundation is an important part of a structure, the type and details of which can be decided upon only with the knowledge and application of the principles of soil mechanics. Soil not only forms the foundation of road pavements but also is the principal material used for their construction. Since there is a wide variation in soil types, an adequate knowledge of the properties of different types of soil is, therefore, essential for proper design and construction of road pavements. 1.1 Types of Soil India is a country of vast dimensions with varied conditions of geology, relief, climateandvegetation.Therefore,Indiahas a large variety of soil groups, distinctly different from one another. DifferentcriteriahavebeenappliedtoclassifyIndian soils, the outstanding being geology, relief, fertility, chemical composition and physical structure, etc.., The Indian council of Agricultural Research(ICAR) setupanAllIndiaSoilSurvey Committee in 1953 which divided the Indian soils into eight major groups. They are alluvial soil, black soil, red soil, laterite soil, mountain soil, desert soil, etc.., 1.2 Properties of Soil The soil has some of the special properties in it and they are physical properties and mechanical properties. Some of the physical properties are colour, structure, texture, atterberg limits and consistency. The mechanical properties of soil includes bearing capacity, shear strength, permeability, maximum dry density and optimummoisturecontentofsoil. 1.3 Soil Stabilization Soil Stabilization is the alteration of soils to enhance their physical properties. Stabilization can increase the shear strength of a soil and/or control the shrink-swell properties of a soil, thus improving the load bearing capacity of a sub- grade to support pavements and foundations. These include increasing the shear strengthofanexistinggroundcondition to enhance its load-bearing capacity, achieve a desired improved permeability and enhancethedurabilityofthesoil to resistance to the process of weathering, and traffic usage among others. There are various methods available for stabilization of soil. It includes mechanical stabilization, use of geosynthetics for soil stabilization and chemical admixture stabilization.

Enzyme catalyze the reactions between the clay and the organic cat-ions and accelerate the cat-ionic exchange process to reduce adsorbed layer thickness. Bio- Enzymes are chemicals, organic and liquid concentrated substances which are used to improve the stability of soil of soil sub base of pavement structures. Bio-enzyme is convenient to use, safe, effective and dramatically improves road quality. For other types of chemical stabilization, chemicals are mixed with soil, which is difficult to mix thoroughly, but bio-enzyme is easy to use as it can be mixed with water at optimum moisture content and then it is sprayed over soil and compacted.Theavailablebio-enzymes are Perrazyme, Terrazyme, etc.., 2. NEED FOR STUDY Soil is one of the vital resources which is obtained by weathering of rock. The nature of soil in a place is largely influenced by such factors as climate, natural vegetation and rocks. The formation of swellingsoilisgenerallyattributedto sedimentation and environmental conditions in geological past. They are prone to have low shear strength. Because of this alternate swelling and shrinkage, structures erected on them are severally damaged.These technical problemsleads to the study of soil stabilization in different soils using bio- enzyme treated for various curing periods. 3. OBJECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH The objectives and scope of the research work are: (1) To compare the physical and mechanical properties of various control soil samples.(2)Tocomparethepropertiesofvarious modified soil samples which are stabilized using bio-enzyme of different dosages. (3) To analyze the intrusion of bio- enzyme in strength variation of different soils for various curing periods. 4.

The appropriate bio-enzyme has been selected as the soil stabilizing agent. The modified soil samples have been preparedinvariousproportionsusingthe selected bio-enzyme. The physical, index and mechanical properties of the various prepared modified samples have been determined for various curing periods of bio-enzyme. The effect of bio-enzyme intrusion in modified soil samples have also been studied. It has beenfollowedbytheanalysisof strength variation in the preparedmodifiedsoilsamples.The obtained results have been correlated. Last but not the least, the best combination of modified soil sample which is suited for foundations and highway pavements as well has been selected from the correlated results based on strength, economic and feasible parameters. 5.

It is also observed that CBR value is more for red soil, moderate for clay soil and low for marine soil. 7. SELECTION OF BIOENZYME Bio-enzyme is a natural, non-toxic, non-flammable, non- corrosive liquid enzyme formulation fermented from vegetable extracts that improves the engineeringqualitiesof soil, facilitates higher soil compaction densities and increases stability. The available bio-enzymes are Perrazyme, Terrazyme, Earthzyme, etc.., The bio-enzyme which has been used in this project is “Terrazyme”. TerraZyme is a natural, non-toxic, non-flammable, non- corrosive liquid enzyme formulation fermented from vegetable extracts that improves the engineeringproperties of soil; facilitate better workability of soil and increases stability by catalyzing the reactionsbetweentheclayandthe organic cations and accelerate the cationic exchangeprocess to reduce adsorbed layer thickness. TerraZyme is specially formulated to modify the engineering properties of soil. Terrazyme are liquid additives, which act on the soil to reduce the voids between soil particles and to minimize the absorbance of water to the soil particles to maximize compaction. The enzymes react with the organic matter (humid matter) in the soil to form cementitious material. This decreases the swelling capacity of the soil particles and reduces permeability. A commercially available organic, enzyme based stabilizer known as TerraZyme is used as additive to the soil. This bio-enzyme has been collectedfrom the Avijeet Agencies, Chennai, India. 7.1 Properties of Terrazyme TerraZyme replaces adsorbed water with organic cations, thus neutralizing the negative charge on a clay particle. The properties of the Terrazyme are tabulated as follows: Table-2: Properties of Terrazyme Properties Values Boiling Point 212°F Specific Gravity 1.05 pH Value 3.50 Total Dissolved Solids 19.7 ppm Evaporating Rate Same as Water Solubility in Water Complete Appearance Dark Brown 8. PREPARATION OF MODIFIED SAMPLES The modified samples have beenpreparedusingtheselected bio-enzyme. Terrazyme is added to the control soil samples in three different dosages such as 0.5 ml, 1 ml and 1.5 ml for every 5 kg of the soil samples. The mixed and prepared soil samples have been kept aside for a curing periods of 1 day and 7 days. Terrazyme is applied to the surface of the dry soil sample. The required bio-enzyme is taken in a hydraulic syringe and applied to the soil. Then, the soil mixed thoroughly in such a way that the applied bio-enzyme is evenly distributed throughout the soil sample. It is added in three different dosages such as 0.5 ml / 5 kg, 1 ml / 5 kg and 1.5 ml / 5kg of samples. Two sets of modified soil samples for each soil in all the three dosages of bio-enzyme is prepared. One set has been kept aside for the curing period of 1 day. The other set has been kept for the curing period of 7 days. 9.

STRENGTH ANALYSIS Soils consist of individual particles that can slide and roll relative to one another. Shearstrength of a soil is equal tothe maximum value of shear stressthatcanbemobilizedwithina soil mass without failuretaking place. The shearstrengthofa soil is a function of the stresses applied to it as well as the manner in which these stresses are applied. A knowledge of shear strength of soils is necessary to determine the bearing capacity of foundations, the lateral pressure exerted on retaining walls, and the stability of slopes. Sometimes it is cheaper to take the undisturbed soil sample and test its strength in the laboratory. Also to choose the best material forthe embankment, one has to conduct strengthtestsonthe samples selected. Under theseconditionsitiseasytoperform the unconfined compression test on undisturbed and remoulded soil sample. 10.1 UCS of Soil Samples The unconfined compressive strength (qu) is the load per unit area at which the cylindrical specimen of a cohesive soil falls in compression. The primary purpose of the Unconfined Compression Test is to quickly determine a measure of the unconfined compressive strength of rocks or fine-grained soils that possess sufficient cohesion to permit testing in the unconfined state. As per the calculated values, the UCS value of modified red soil (1.5 ml) sample treated at 1 day curing is more among the 1 day values. Similarly, the UCS value of modified marine soil (1 ml) sample at 1 day curing is more among the 1 day values. The UCS value of modified clay soil (1.5 ml) sample is more among the 1 day values. The clay soil sample treated at 1 day with 1.5 ml of dosage has more UCS value among the overall 1 day values. As per the calculated values, the UCS value of modified red soil (1 ml & 1.5 ml) samples treated at 7 days curing is more among the 7 day values. Similarly, the UCS value of modifiedmarinesoil(1ml) sample at 7 days curing is more among the 7 daysvalues.The UCS value of modified clay soil (1.5 ml) sample is more among the 7 days values. The clay soil sample treated at 7 days with 1.5 ml of dosage has more UCS value among the overall 7 days values. Chart-1: UCS Values of Soil Samples From the above chart, the UCS value of modified clay soil has significance increment in strength. Among all the values of UCS, the modified clay soil sample has the highest UCS value of 440 kPa.

CBR is the ratio of force per unit area required to penetrate a soil mass with standard circular piston at the rate of 1.25 mm/min. to that required for the corresponding penetration of a standard material. The california bearing ratio test is penetration test meant for the evaluation of subgrade strength of roadsandpavements.The results obtained by these tests are used with the empirical curves to determine the thickness of pavement and its component layers. Chart 2: CBR Values of Soil Samples From the above consolidated chart, it is observed that, the CBR values of all the modified soil samples which have been modified using 1.5 ml / 5 kg dosage of bio-enzyme has more than the other combinations. Among all the values, the modified red and clay soilsamples treated at 7 days ofcuring has more CBR value. 11. CORRELATION OF RESULTS 11.1 Results of Red Soil Samples From the various experimental and laboratory studies on red soil samples, the following results have been obtained:  The specific gravity of themodifiedsampleshaveno significant changes when compared to specific gravity of the control sample.  The optimum moisture content of the modified samples has decreased slightly with increaseofbio- enzyme dosage.  The maximum dry density of the modified samples treated at 7 days has more than that of samples treated at 1 day.  The UCS values of modified samples have been increased linearly, both in terms of dosage and curing periods.  The CBR values of modified samples has shown tremendous increment in 7 days whencomparedto that of 1 day CBR values.  It is found that the modified samples has enough CBR value and they are categorised as Good-Fair material. Hence, they can be used as the soil subgrade material for the highway pavements. 11.2Results of Marine Soil Samples From the various experimental and laboratory studies on marine soil samples, the following results have been obtained:  The specific gravity of themodifiedsampleshaveno significant changes when compared to specific gravity of the control sample.  The optimum moisture content of the modified samples has decreased slightly with increaseofbio- enzyme dosage.  The maximum dry density of the modified samples has no significant difference.  The UCS values of modified samples have been increased linearly and decreasedwhentreatedwith 1.5 ml dosage of bio-enzyme (1 day).

Hence, fair combination of material (Marine Soil + 1.5 ml Bio-enzyme + 7 days) can be used as the soil subgrade material for the highway pavements. 11.3Results of Clay Soil Samples From the various experimental and laboratory studies on clay soil samples, the following results have been obtained:  The clay soil sample which has been selectedforthe project is classified as medium plasticclaysoil since its plasticity index is in the range of 7 – 17.  The plasticity index of modified clay soil samples is also in the range of 7 – 17 and they are also classified as medium plastic clay soil since it does not lose its plasticity.  The specific gravity of themodifiedsampleshaveno significant changes when compared to specific gravity of the control sample.  The optimum moisture content of the modified samples has decreased slightly with increaseofbio- enzyme dosage.  The maximum dry density of the modified samples has no significant difference.  The UCS values of modified samples have been increased linearly, both in terms of dosage and curing periods.

Hence, they can be used as the soil subgrade material for the highway pavements. 12. CONCLUSION Engineers often face the problem of constructing facilities on or with soils, which do not possess sufficient strength to support the loads imposed upon them either during construction or during the service life of the structure. The poor engineering performance of such soils has forced Engineers to attempt to improve the engineering properties of poor quality soils. Soil stabilization is the alterationofone or more soil properties to create an improved soil material possessing the desired engineering properties. Recently many Bio-enzymes have emergedascosteffectivestabilizers for soil stabilization. Three different types of soil have been selected and collected. Various laboratory tests have been conducted on all the three soil samples to determine physical, index and mechanical properties of the soil samples. From the UCS and CBR values of the samples, it has been concluded that the clay and red soil is more suitable as a soil subgrade material for highwaypavements.The marine soil sample is more suited as a subgrade material when treated with 1.5 ml / 5 kg of bio-enzyme dosage with curing periods of 7 days. The combination of this marine soil sample will be more economical in design. Thus, the stabilized soil samples can be used as a subgrade material for the construction of highway pavements. 13. FUTURE SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH WORK Directions of future research includes the analysis of strength parameters such as UCS and CBR values in the modified samples with placement of geo-synthetics such as geogrids, geocells, geonets, geotextiles at alternate depths. This will give further more strength characteristics in the selected soil samples. REFERENCES [1] Nader Hataf and Reyhaneh Jamali. 2018.
