Amelioration of High Plasticity Soil Using Sisal Fiber and Granite Dust
Research has now established that the natural fibers are resilient and environmentally sustainable reinforcement agents. There are a few studies to understand the extent to which stone waste can act as a stabilizing agent in soils with high plasticity. Granite powder has proven to be effective stabilizing material. However, in certain soils, despite adding granite powder, the CBR values are not met as per Indian standards code. In order to address this problem, this study aims to evaluate the addition of sisal fiber, a natural and environmentally viable material as a reinforcement material. The hypothesis of the study is that addition of sisal fiber will result in the moisture content being lowered and an increase in the dry density, CBR value in tandem with the requirements of I.S. codes.
