SOIL STABILIZATION USING POLYPROPYLENE FIBER AND BAGASSE ASH – A REV

Abstract

In a well-organized environment, disposal of waste poses a great threat as regards where and how to effectively dispose the waste material without any harmful effect to society. Waste material fibers combine with polypropylene fibers are used to enhance soil strength that has attracted much research interest in the past decade [1]. In this paper the strength properties of soil blocks have been investigated by adding sugarcane bagasse fibers and polypropylene fibers in soil [2]. It was found that by utilization of an optimum of sugarcane bagasse fibers in the soil matrix improved the strength properties of the soil blocks.
