Abstract

In this paper an attempt is carry out to find the effectiveness of Synthetic bag Fiber as a stabilizer in black cotton soil which is important to make utilization of the fly ash in construction of roads by improving its compaction characteristics by mixing it with different fine grained soils viz. black cotton soil. It aims to study the change of geotechnical properties of black cotton soil by stabilizing with Synthetic Bag Fiber, lime and Fly Ash. The study of quantitative change in CBR values with different sizes and proportion of Synthetic Bag Fiber. It also reveals about the impact of Synthetic Bag Fiber on various engineering properties of soil mix with fly ash.
