|
Soil stabilization is the process which enhances the properties of soil by mixing of different admixtures in various proportions. Stabilization increases the load bearing capacity of soil by mixing of glass and plastic fibre in different percentage in expansive soils. In this paper, effect of mixed plastic and glass fibre in varying proportion on Mass Dry Density (MDD), Optimum Moisture Content (OMC), specific gravity and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) on Black Cotton Soil has been discussed. The percentage of 6 mm glass fibre by dry weight of soil was taken as 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 2.5% and the percentage of 12 mm glass fibre by dry weight of soil was taken as 1%, 1.5%, and 2% constantly. By using the above test on the black cotton soil the compressive strength and and its property is increased by using glass fibre as an admixture. |
