ABSTRACT
Marble slurry wastes are available widespread in Rajasthan as by-product of industrial process. Generally these wastes pollute and damage the environment due to sawing and polishing processes. This waste can be used for making an earthen embankment. For this, three samples of soil and two samples of marble dust from different places were collected. The marble slurry was mixed with soil sample at a ratio of 0-30%. Factor of safety and CBR properties were observed of each sample. From the several experiments, 25% mixed marble dust based soil sample is approved for building of road embankments.
