Abstract
The growth of the population has created a need for better and economical vehicular operation which requires good highway having proper geometric design, pavement condition and maintenance. There are various infrastructure projects which are used in different highways, railways, water reservoir etc. which requires earth material in very large quantity. The highways have to be maintained so that comfort, convenience and safety are provided to the travelling public. The pavements along national and state highways in the Gujarat and many other states are damaged due to the poor strength of the soil used and low permeability. Soil stabilization is the process in which engineering properties of the different type soil is improved. It can be done by the use of controlled compaction, proportioning and addition of suitable different type of admixtures and stabilizers. Soil stabilization is very necessary for various construction works like road pavement and foundation because it improves the engineering properties of different soil. This project represents a study of the Recron-3s Fibre as the admixtures or stabilizers in improving some engineering properties soil. This experiment evaluates the effect of the Recron-3s on the some basic engineering properties of these soils such as California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS). The different values adopted in the present study for the percentage of fiber reinforcement are 0.75%, 1.5 %, 2.25 % and 3 %.
