    This presentation summarizes research on stabilizing expansive soil using polypropylene and coconut fibers. The research problem addressed how expansive soils exhibit high swelling and shrinkage, making them unsuitable for construction. The methodology involved collecting materials, classifying the soil, preparing samples, and conducting compaction tests, unconfined compression tests, and California bearing ratio tests. The results showed that both 0.75% polypropylene fibers and 1% coconut fibers improved the soil's properties, increasing strength and bearing capacity compared to the unreinforced sample. Recommendations included using 0.75% polypropylene fibers, further research on long-term strength over 180 days of curing, and applying the findings to

    • Stabilization by Fibers
    • Expansive soil
    • Fibers
     Methodology

    RESEARCH PROBLEM

    • Black cotton soil exhibit high rate of swelling and


    shrinkage
    • Expansive soil is unsuitable for construction.
    • Expansive soil undergoes excessive settlement .
    INTRODUCTION
     Stabilization by Fibers
     Expansive soil
    • Expansive soils have the potential to contract or
    expand.
    • Due to mineral montmorillonite,smectite.
     FIBERS
    • Polypropylene fibers, a synthetic material.
    • The coconut fibers also called coconut coir.
    LITERATURE REVEIW
     Soltani (2018) demonstrated the influence of two types of
    tape-shaped jute fibers.
     Siva Kumar Babu (2008) work on different percentage of
    coir fibers.
     Arif work on CBR value.
     Ankit jain work on chemical stabilization.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    • 0.75% of polypropylene fibers is used.


    • research must be performed on 180 days of curing.
    • performed on basis of long term strength.
    • Studies should done for deep foundation.
