Various experiments consisting of Atterberg limits, standard compaction, California bearing ratio (CBR), swelling potential and swelling pressure were conducted on natural soil and soil stabilized with various percentages of CBRPLUS. The results indicated that the addition of this material (at the rate of 0.05%), significantly changes the physical and mechanical properties of rehabilitated soil, including, reduction of the liquid limit (at least 6%), plasticity index (at least 9%), swelling potential (at least 27%), and swelling pressure (at least 45%), and also increasing the bearing capacity of soil (at least 53%); hence, the improvement of soil properties is a function of mass percentage of CBRPLUS. Furthermore multiple regression models were developed for CBR, swelling potential and swelling pressure as a function of additive agent percentage, plasticity index and maximum dry unit weight with accuracy and a high degree of agreement between experimental and predicted values. In addition a sensitivity analysis was also performed to investigate the effect of various parameters on CBR, swelling potential and swelling pressure values. %U https://ijswr.ut.ac.ir/article_57984_0ed524fb32757dda4d1260a5ba543c5c.pdf
