摘要：The soundness of a foundation and superstructure depends on the subsoil on which it is supported. Thepoor subsoil may not be able to support the structure safely. But sometimes due to unavoidable reasons, one is forced toconstruct superstructure on such a poor soil. In such conditions, no alternative is available other than imparting theartificial strength to soil.This paper gives the knowledge on the effect on the settlement of dune sand when it is reinforced with porcelaininsulators. The porcelain insulators were broken into particles and with help of standard sieves the size of particleswere taken and then mixed with soil in a predefined percentage and the soil were tested for bearing capacity.
