The amount of muddy soils and shredded papers generated from various kinds of industries has been increasing. In this research, the reuse method that the muddy soils mixed with shredded papers and cements as constructional materials is examined. As the result, the unconfined compression strength of the improved soil mixed with shredded paper as less than 2% increases. The improved soil can be used on low-intensity area of construction sites. The cause of strength intensity of improved soil is decrease in water content due to the paper absorption and increasing of pullout and shearing resistance. The paper mixed to the muddy soils contributes to the prevention of collapse when the improved soil sinks in water.
