Abstract

Soil stability becomes a major factor of concern, especially when the soil is of expansive nature. Many
methods have been developed to improve properties of soil by various additives. In this paper, an attempt has been
made to utilize an environmental pollutant such as fly ash along with glass fibre. A series of CBR and UCS tests were
conducted to evaluate the combined effect of fly ash and glass fibre on expansive soil of South Gujarat region. The
tests were carried out with various proportion of Fly ash (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) with Glass fibre (0% 0.25%
and 0.50% by weight of dry soil). The purpose of this study work is to analyze the soil modification achieved from the
given combination.
