This article presents a multidisciplinary approach to address the challenges posed by Makurdi shale soil (MSS), a problematic soil found in Benue state, Nigeria. MSS possesses geotechnical properties that significantly impact construction and infrastructure development in the region, among other areas in Nigeria. Researchers have explored soil improvement techniques using additives or stabilizers to overcome these challenges. This study investigates the optimization potential of MSS using soybean pod ash (SBPA) and cement as additives. Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the geotechnical properties of MSS and assess the effectiveness of SBPA and cement in enhancing its characteristics. The tests measured moisture content, particle size distribution, plasticity index, and strength properties. The results offer valuable insights into the natural behaviour of MSS and its response to the incorporation of SBPA and cement. By understanding the geotechnical properties of MSS and studying the impact of additives, the study provides practical recommendations for optimizing the soil’s performance. Utilizing locally available materials like SBPA and cement presents cost-effective and sustainable solutions for soil improvement in the region. The findings of this research contribute to the field of geotechnical engineering by providing insights into the behaviour of MSS and the effectiveness of SBPA and cement as soil additives. These insights have practical implications for construction professionals involved in projects using MSS, helping them make informed decisions regarding soil stabilization and selecting optimal mix proportions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
