Abstract
This paper presents the laboratory tests' results to investigate the load-carrying capacity of stabilized lateritic soil beams reinforced with Ayin timber. Twelve (12) specimens incorporating 10% cement as a stabilizer were prepared. For each specimen class, reinforcement was varied using three classes each of 8mm Ayin timber, 12mm Ayin timber, 16mm Ayin timber, and three classes of unreinforced lateritic beams. The result of this analysis was compared to see if there is a difference in properties of tension, compression, strength, applied load, deflection, and crack width.
