The present paper consists of a comparative study of bearing and sustainability of silty soils treated with lime and/or cement. The Tests carried out on samples of treated silty soil showed a great improvement in workability and bearing capacity compared to a natural one. It was also noticed that the soil that was treated with 5% of cement, and with 1% of lime and 4% of cement gives the highest values of CBR (Californian Bearing Ratio). However, the highest durability of the treated soil was obtained by mixed treatment (1% of lime and 4% of cement), which values the mixed treatment efficiency. It should also be noted that the proposed solution fits sustainable development well}, number={2}, publisher={Aytekin İŞMAN}
