Clayey soils have the characteristic of swelling when exposed to moisture and shrinking when there is dryness, this represents a problem especially in foundations that are built on this type of soil. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect on mechanical properties by adding glass powder and mollusk shell powder to this problem soil. The present thesis had a quantitative focus, since the study of clay soil was carried out by measuring indicators such as Direct Cut, Modified Proctor, Atterberg Limits and Granulometry. In addition, the use of glass powder and mollusk shells will decrease the costs of clay soil improvement, since they are materials found in abundance in the study area. And the costs to purchase these products are minimal. With this kind of improvement presented in research, clayey soil improves markedly as it increases its bearing capacity. The results show that the use of mollusk shells and glass powder provide an increase in the resistance of the clay soil, in addition it shows a decrease in the transverse deformations that are present by the application of loads on the clay soil. Finally, it was observed that, when combining clay soil with shellfish powder and glass powder, this mixture decreases the absorption of water, thus making clay soil more stable.
