Abstract

A technique to improve the engineering characteristics of soil is called as soil fortification/reinforcement. The former use of natural fibers to reinforce or fortify soil is a conventional idea. Consequently, randomly distribution of fiber has recently attracted increasing attention in geotechnical engineering for the second time to reinforced soils. The aim of this project is to identify a synthetic fiber to enhance the shear strength and bearing capacity of a cohesive soil. In this project, analysis of the reinforced soil and determination of the optimum reinforcement in terms of fiber’s content and length by conducting Proctor Density Test and Direct Shear Test. Key words: Stabilisation, Soil Reinforcement
