Title

SOIL REINFORCED WITH COCONUT COIR FIBRE

Abstract

Safe and Economic disposal of agricultural wastes and development of economically feasible ground improvement techniques are among the important challenge being faced by the engineering community. In this investigation, an attempt has been made to study the possibility of utilizing coconut coir fibre these are the agricultural waste for stabilization of soil, since bulk utilization of rice coconut coir fibre is feasible in the case of geotechnical applications like construction of embankments, earth dams, and highway and air field pavements. In this project we use one of the natural fibre i.e. coconut coir fibre it is a natural biodegradable material that is abundantly available in India. Due to high lignin content (about 46%) it is stronger than other natural materials such as jute or cotton. Coir fibres are extracted from the husks surrounding the coconut. It was used as an additive material to improve the strength properties such as maximum dry density and CBR. Soil stabilization is the process of improving the engineering properties of the soil and thus making it more stable. It is required when the soil available for construction is not suitable for the intended purpose. In its broadest senses, stabilization includes compaction, pre consolidation, drainage and much other such process. However, the term stabilization is generally restricted to the process which alters the soil material itself for improvement of its properties. A cementing material or a chemical is added to a natural soil for the purpose of stabilization. Soil stabilization is used to reduce the permeability and compressibility of the soil mass in earth structures and to increase its shear strength. Soil stabilization is required to increase the bearing capacity of foundation soils. However, the main use of stabilization is to improve the natural soils for the construction of highways and airfields. The principles of soil stabilization are used to controlling the grading of soils and aggregates in the construction of bases and sub bases of the highways and airfields.
