EFFECTS OF POLYPROPYLENE FIBRE ON CEMENT STABILIZED SOIL

Expansive soil causing problems due to its swelling and shrinkage characteristics. Expansive soils are a worldwide problem that poses several challenges for civil Engineers. Various methods are adapted to improve the engineering characteristics of expansive. Literature is available on adding and mixing the fiber into the soil as this technique has been incorporated since ancient times. Cement created in the ignition of sub bituminous coals shows self-cementing characteristics and can be utilized as a part of an extensive variety of application. In this paper the main focused on increasing the Compressive strength and CBR value of the Black Cotton soil by varying the percentage of Polypropylene fibre in the range of 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and the Cement is varied as 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% 10%, 12% & 14% by weight of soil mass.
