Abstract

Fly ash is a waste product. The only way to reduce the pollution of fly ash disposal efforts is recycled and reused in a variety of engineering applications. Properly managed, fly ash can be put in beneficial reuses. In this paper using fibre reinforcement techniques to improve geotechnical properties of fly ash. Polypropylene fibre is used to reinforce for stabilization of fly ash. The study involves standard proctor test, CBR test and direct shear test on unreinforced and reinforced fly ash. Polypropylene fibre is used in different length of 24mm and 40mm with different content i.e. 0.5%, 1% and 2%. Test results indicate that there is significant effect of synthetic fibre on geotechnical properties of Fly Ash.
