Over a previous couple of decades, there is a rise in research related to the use of synthetic fibers as soil reinforcement materials due to their availability, economy, and growth in recognition of sustainable development. As an outcome of rapid urbanization, an enormous amount of construction work is going on throughout the world, and due to the absence of hard soil strata, the geo-technicians are bound to use the available soft soil strata having a low bearing capacity which is responsible for excessive settlement. To overcome this situation, soil modification with cement along with the addition of fibers is an economical and well-established practice for the enhancement of mechanical properties of soil. The evolution of cement-based technology has led to the development of fiber-reinforced cemented soil (FRCS) to improve the compressive strength as well as the tensile strength of the soil with the addition of cementitious material and fibers. This paper is organized in various sections on properties, usages, etc., and provide a detailed review on up to date research going on to enhance the performance of synthetic fiber-reinforced cemented soil based on the addition of synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyester as reinforcing materials and discussing the possibility of the further application of the fibers for the ground improvement.
