EFFECT ON RED SOIL STABILIZED BY USING JUTE FIBRE

Abstract

Red soil is the best part in the Indian earth’s land on which we can see physically in our surround of the states. The red soil contains more drainage property in the comparison of the other soil. The formation of the red soil is made up of the clay and the limestone. Soil Stabilization means improvement of the soil by using of controlled compaction, proportioning and or the addition of suitable admixture or stabilizers.
In the present investigation an attempt has been made to modify the strength characteristics of laterite soil (red soil) using Jute fibre. The admixtures are mixed with soil in various proportions to determine the strength characteristics of red soils such as standard proctor test and unconfined compression test (UCS).
