In this study, the effect of Amorphous Silica, which is widely used in the construction industry, especially in the production of ready-mixed concrete, mineral additives and insulation materials, on improving the engineering properties of clayey soils was investigated. For this purpose, 2% and 10% amorphous silica has added to high plasticity Eşen and Sodium Bentonite clays and then the consistency limits, standard compaction, unconfined pressure and constant volume swelling tests were performed. The effect of amorphous silica on two different soils was evaluated. It has been determined that Amorphous Silica can be used as a stabilizing material to increase the unconfined compressive strength in high plasticity soils.
