During sugar production, at the end of the sugar purification process with limestone, a large amount of sugar press filter waste (SFW) (up to 20% of the as a result of weight of sugar produced) is generated collecting the substances removed from the syrup with the help of CO2 with the help of filters. In this study, as a suggestion for the management of this waste, its usability as a construction material for soil improvement is discussed. In this direction, the effect of the powder form of SFW material on soil dynamic parameters and liquefaction after its addition as a soil additive at different ratios was investigated. For this purpose, a clayey sand soil sample with high liquefaction risk was selected and resonant column test was performed by adding different amounts (1–3–5–8–10%) of powdered SFW waste at different confining pressures (50 kPa, 100 kPa, 150 kPa), and the effect of the admixture on shear modulus and damping ratio parameters was investigated according to the results of the experiment. According to the findings, it was observed that the highest soil strength was obtained when the additive ratio was selected as 3% at all confining pressures. In the liquefaction analysis, it was determined that the liquefaction risk of the soil with 3% SFW material additive was reduced at all depths.
