In the present day, disposing of industrial trash is becoming more difficult. Such toxic trash affects both the environment and the land. To protect the environment and the land from industrial waste, we used the junk to construct our buildings. Currently, it is thought that between 90 and 135 million metric tonnes of steel slag are produced globally each year. Steel slag is therefore used to stabilise the expanding soil and minimise waste. It is without dispute that subgrade soil is strong and crucial to a road's surface. If the strength of the soil is poor, stabilisation is frequently necessary. Subgrade may occasionally be stabilised or replaced with stronger soil material in order to boost strength. This stabilisation is also acceptable when the subgrade is made up of fragile soil. An increase in subgrade strength may lead to a reduction in the structural thickness of a pavement. Utilising steel slag makes expansive soil stronger and more capable of supporting pavementstructures, which indirectly reduces road construction expenses. Different ratios of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% steel slag have been used to stabilise the Expansive soil and assess if it is appropriate for use as a road building material. A sudden volume shift is usually a disadvantage of expansive soils. Highway and building foundations may be subject to considerable uplift forces on such soils. Several research have been conducted in the past to try to avert such catastrophes by enhancing the expanding soil's engineering qualities. Expansive soil and fine steel slag engineering and mechanical properties were evaluated. The effectiveness of the steel slag was assessed using improvements in consistency limits, compaction, free swell, direct shear Test (C&Ø), and California bearing ratio (CBR).
