The main objective of this study is to investigate the use of waste fiber materials in geotechnical
applications and to evaluate the effects of waste polypropylene fibers on shear strength of unsaturated
soil by carrying out direct shear tests and unconfined compression tests on two different soil samples. The
results obtained are compared for the two samples and inferences are drawn towards the usability and
effectiveness of fiber reinforcement as a replacement for deep foundation or raft foundation, as a cost
effective approach.

INTRODUCTION

For any land-based structure, the foundation is very
important and has to be strong to support the entire
structure. In order for the foundation to be strong,
the soil around it plays a very critical role. So, to
work with soils, we need to have proper knowledge
about their properties and factors, which affect
their behavior. The process of soil stabilization
helps to achieve the required properties in a soil
needed for the construction work. From the
beginning of construction work, the necessity of
enhancing soil properties has come to the light.
Ancient civilizations of the Chinese, Romans and
Incas utilized various methods to improve soil
strength etc., some of these methods were so
effective that their buildings and roads still exist.In
India, the modern era of soil stabilization began in
early 1970’s, with a general Shortage of petroleum
and aggregates, it became necessary for the
engineers to look at means to improve soil other
than replacing the poor soil at the building site. Soil
stabilization was used but due to the use of obsolete
methods and also due to the absence of proper
technique, soil stabilization lost favor. In recent
times, with the increase in the demand for
infrastructure, raw materials and fuel, soil
stabilization has started to take a new shape. With
the availability of better research, materials and
equipment, it is emerging as a popular and costeffective
method for soil improvement. Here, in
this project, soil stabilization has been done with
the help of randomly distributed polypropylene
fibers obtained from waste materials. The
improvement in the shear strength parameters has
been stressed upon and comparative studies have
been carried out using different methods of shear
resistance measurement.
II. EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION
Scope of Work
The experimental work consists of the following
step
 Specific gravity of soil
 Determination of soil index properties
(Atterberg Limits)
 Liquid limit by Casagrande’s apparatus
 Plastic limit
 Particle size distribution by sieve analysis
 Determination of the maximum dry density
(MDD) and the corresponding optimum
moisture content (OMC) of the soil by Proctor
compaction test
 Preparation of reinforced soil samples.
 Determination of the shear strength by:
Direct shear test (DST)
Unconfined compression test (UCS)
