Abstract:

Many fibres are in use for ground improvement techniques. Geotextile fibres are a combination of these fibres to create hybrid fibres to meet up the required specification for intended work. The paper analyses the effect of geotextile fibre on soil under soaked and unsoaked condition by comparing the CBR results of the samples. Addition of geotextile fibres enhances the CBR value, but the study concluded that 2 mm penetration depth the increase on reinforcement with geotextile fibre is less in comparison to the increase caused by changing the condition from soaked to unsoaked. While for the 5 mm penetration depth the geotextile fibre reinforced samples exceeded the increase in CBR value more than that achieved by changing the soil condition from soaked to unsoaked.
