Soil reinforcement technique has been used in present times to improve the shear strength of weak soils.The main objective of this study is to investigate the suitability of solid waste materials such as human hair fibers in the process of soil stabilization as a reinforcement which can replace conventional commercial fiber materials. Human hair fiber is a natural non-biodegradable waste material which creates health and environmental problems. Physical properties of soil like Atterberg’slimits, compaction characteristics &strength characteristics of virgin soil samples were determined .The soil sample were treated with different percentages of Human Hair fiber (0.5%,0.7%,0.9%,1.2%and1.5%).The strength of the soil sample increased up to1.2% and then it decreased.

Atterberg’s limits, Human hair fiber(HHF), CBR,Unconfined Compression test,Specificgravity, sieve analysis.
