Abstract

The process of soil stabilization entails strengthening the physical characteristics of the soil by blending or combining with chemicals in order to improve its strength, durability, etc. The various methods for stabilizing soil include chemical stabilization, bitumen stabilization, bitumen stabilization with cement, stabilising soil with lime, stabilizing soil with cement, and a novel emerging method using geotextiles and geosynthetic fibres. For soil stabilisation in this study, bamboo fibers are used as a geosynthetic material. The CBR values will rise when bamboo fibres are added to the soil, and the pavement layer thickness will also decrease. A geosynthetic material that is readily available, environmentally benign, and economical is bamboo fibres. When using the soil stabilisation approach during construction, the overall cost is lower than when using the conventional method. It was discovered what the soil's liquid limit, MDD, OMC, shear strength, and CBR value were. We deduced from the limited laboratory research that 0.75 percent bamboo fibre can significantly enhance the characteristics of black cotton soil. The project's advantages include the ability to make high-quality concrete and the cost of employing bamboo fibre for soil stabilisation.
