Abstract

Abstract Shear strength, differential settlements and lofty compressibility, extensive soil usually create a problem for civil engineers and geotechnical engineers. Stabilization is one of the oldest ways to augment the soil quality of problematic soil. In current time, it has been experienced to the totalling of fibres improves the ductility performance of the soil close by tumbling the maturity of fractures throughout the contraction. This paper illustrates the outcome of lime plus bamboo fibres on strength performance black cotton soil blending with different percentages by conducting California Bearing Ratio, Modified Proctor Compaction as well as Unconfined Compressive Strength at various curative periods. The test result indicates that strength characteristics of the most viable combination of black cotton soil-lime sample combined with bamboo fibres are considerably better than un-treated black cotton soil and also the strength of soil increased due to increase in the curing period.
