This study shows an improvement of two types of clay soil brought from different parts of Iraq. The first soil (A) from Al - Zaafaraniya site in Baghdad governorate. The second soil (B) from Garma Ali site in the Al Basra governorate, Iraq. Soft clayey soils were treated by a combination of sulphate resistance Portland cement (PC) and Quicklime (LQ) to modify and stability. PC was added in percentages of 2,4,6,8 and 10%, as well as, LQ was added to 2 and 4%, of dry weight. Laboratory tests to determine specific gravity, Atterbergs limits and standard proctor test were conducted. Also, the main objective of this research is the concentrating on compression ratio (CR), the Rebound (Swelling) ratio (RR) and the stiffness during the modulus of elasticity (Es) for treated and natural soils procreation from consolidation test. The results from laboratory tests shows high ability on the enhancing in terms of reduction in plasticity index (greatly increased workability), reduction in compression ratio (CR), reduction in the Rebound (Swelling) ratio (RR), increase in the modulus of elasticity (Es). The change in moisture-density relationships resulting in lower maximum dry densities, higher optimum water content, and less variation of dry density from the maximum over a much wider range of water contents.
