Geotechnical engineers all over the world face enormous problems during the construction of plastic clayey soil in terms of its settlement criteria. To check the differential settlement, the consolidation behavior of clay is most important aspect to study. So, to achieve proper and effective consolidation parameters, reinforcement of fibers to soil can be considered as the best solution because it is economical and is quite easily available in natural as well as in synthetic form. These fibers are also very eco-friendly. In this investigation, a study on consolidation behavior of locally available clayey soil (taken from near A.M.U Fort, Aligarh, U.P.) reinforced with polypropylene (synthetic) fibers has been done. To find out the improved consolidation characteristics, intermediate plasticity clayey soil was reinforced with different lengths of fibers, i.e., 5–10 mm randomly mixed in varying percentages of 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4 and 0.5% of dry weight of soil. The consolidation behavior of reinforced soil samples was observed and compared with unreinforced soil sample. The results obtained from the above experiment indicate that the compression index (Cc), coefficient of compressibility (aV) and coefficient of volume change (mV) decreased by the inclusion of polypropylene fibers up to certain percentage and then started increasing thereafter. In our investigation, it can be concluded that the clayey soil reinforced with 5–10 mm average length of polypropylene fibers gives the optimum results for various consolidation parameters when it was added at 0.35% by the dry weight of soil.
