Effect of Multilayer Natural Fiber Reinforcement on CBR Value of Black Cotton Soil

Soil is the foundation of the structure, it actually supports the structure from below and distributes the load evenly. If the soil is not stable enough, the structure will collapse in the form of settlement, cracks, etc.Possible reduction. In order to overcome this problem, the soil needs to be improved with artificial materials. Soil stabilization technology is one of the tools used to improve soil quality. Road development has always been an important topic in highway and geotechnical engineering. The use of jute fibers for reinforcing the subgrade soil is good because they are cheap, locally available and biodegradable. In this paper, soil samples were compacted to their maximum dry density (according to their moisture content) in California Laboratory Bearing Ratio (CBR) molds with and without jute fibers. To study its effect on the CBR value, natural jute fiber pieces equal to the diameter of the CBR mould were placed in layers.
