In Indonesia, many main roads have been constructed on problematic soil. The chemical improvement is widely used to shallow soil modification and stabilization. This paper introduces the use of a SiCC column to strengthen the load-bearing capacity of the expansive soil. In the road pavement design, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is a most useful parameter to define the pavement layers. Hence, this paper is aimed to investigate the effect of SiCC column on the CBR of compacted expansive soil. Two groups of specimens were prepared for CBR test under soaked condition. A set of specimens are prepared on the wet side (Specimen A), and a set of specimens are compacted on the dry side of optimum moisture content (Specimen B). The objective of this research is to determine the effect of moisture content and dry density on the CBR value. The experiment results show that the SiCC column significantly increases the CBR of expansive soil on both dry and wet side of optimum moisture content. The specimen compacted on the dry side exhibit a higher CBR than the specimen compacted on the wet side of optimum moisture content.
