Use of Eco-Friendly Materials in the Stabilization of Expansive Soils

Volume change of expansive soils is a challenging issue, which affects various engineering structures all over the world. Consequently, we need environmentally-friendly and cost-effective soil stabilizers to address challenges related soils. The utilization natural fibers allows for reduction in environmental impact since they are renewable biodegradable raw materials. Moreover, current article presents an experimental approach study effect on mechanical behavior Various tests—such as Atterberg limits, standard compaction, direct shear, swelling potential, pressure—were conducted control treated samples using different percentages fibers. results measurements physico-mechanical properties after reinforcement with 1%, 5%, 10% indicate that greatly influenced by addition To conclude, 86% was observed coefficient soil. Future research can be done check durability practice detail.
