Utilization of Jute Fibre in Soil reinforcement, A Review

  Zafar Iqbal Ahanger,  Er.Abhishek Bawa

The stability of any pavement depends upon the stability of its subgrade soil. Subgrade governs the performance, life span and effectiveness of the pavement. The entire load coming over the pavement is ultimately borne by the subgrade. Soil is a base of structure, which actually supports the structure from beneath and distributes the load effectively. If the stability of the soil is not adequate then failure of structure occurs in form of settlement, cracks etc. In this study the soil samples were prepared at its maximum dry density corresponding to optimum moisture content in the CBR mould with and without reinforcement. Standard size of moulds have been used. From the laboratory tests the effect of jute fiber content on density of soil (optimum moisture content and maximum dry density) was observed for each length and diameter of jute fiber. The California Bearing Ratio test was conducted on all the samples and the results have been presented.

Keywords- California Bearing Ratio, Subgrade, Jute fibre, SPT, Tri-axial etc.
