The Indian Road Congress encodes the accurate outline methodologies of the pavement layers based upon the subgrade quality. Subgrade quality is generally communicated as far as CBR. That is the California Bearing Ratio communicated in rate. Consequently, in all, the pavement and the subgrade together must sustain the activity volume. In this project locally available red colored Laterite type gravel soil is taken as experimenting material. Medium setting emulsion (MS) is used as stabilizing agent in this particular study. Bitumen sand stabilization is an effective process as bitumen makes soil stronger and improves resistance capacity against water and frost. The main objective of this experimental study is to improve the properties of the gravely soil by adding bitumen emulsion as stabilizing agent and little bit cement as filler. An attempt has been made to use emulsion for improving the strength and geotechnical properties of gravel soil. Very mostly, use of use of bitumen emulsion is environmentally accepted. To achieve the whole project some experimental investigation is needed in laboratory. The experiments which to be conducted are Specific Gravity of the soil sample, Grain size Distribution of soil sample and liquid limit plastic limit test to identify the material and Standard Proctor test to obtain maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of soil sample, Unconfined shear strength test of soil sample mixing with emulsion. So the main objective is to maximize the shear strength by checking some conditions.
