Abstract

Soil stabilization has become a major matter in construction engineering and the studies regarding the effectiveness of using natural wastes are rapidly increasing. The Soil stabilization is an effective and reliable technique for improving strength and stability of soils. The objective of this study is to examine the usage of waste fibre materials in geotechnical applications and to appraise the effects of waste polypropylene fibres, Bagasse ash and JUTE fibre. Bagasse ash, polypropylene and jute fibre are versatile materials with attractive characteristics and advantages, as a result of this polypropylene is now being used abundantly all over the world. Waste jute fibres have high strength, less cost, long life and also, they are biodegradable, therefore, may be used for the enhancement of engineering properties of soil and may also be used for control of seepage. The use of waste fibres will result in decreasing the requirement of valuable land for the disposal of wastes and it will also reduce the environmental impacts. The bagasse ash with 1.5%, jute are added from 0.5%, 0.75% with by dry weight of soil and Polypropylene is added with 0.5%, 0.75%.
