This research study aims to stabilization of sand dunes by mixing locally available waste material i.e. cement kiln dust and recron fiber. The stabilization of soil program have been taken into two phases. First mixing sand dune with recron fiber with varying percentage from 0 to 2% by weight. In the second phase the optimum mixture obtained from first phase is mixed with cement kiln dust by varying percentage from 0 to 10%.From the experimental study it is observed that optimum quantity of 1.5% recron fiber with 7.5% cement kiln dust is found to be the most efficient for the stabilization of sand dune. The results shows the significant increase in the strength properties of the sand dune. The angle of internal friction of the soil is increased by 35% andthe CBR of the soil is improved by 77% in comparison to virgin soil.
