“Soil forms the base of all structures & and is responsible for taking up the loads ultimately.Hence the strength & stability of soil affects the structure which is built on it.In case of road pavements subgrade plays an important role.Subgrade soil is an integral part of the road pavement structure as it provides the support to the pavement from beneath.The subgrade soil and its characteristics are important in the design of pavement structure.The main function of the subgrade is to give adequate support to the pavement and for this the subgrade should possess sufficient stability under adverse climate and loading conditions. The formation of waves,corrugations,rutting and shoving in black top pavements and the phenomena of pumping,blowing and consequent cracking of cement concrete pavements are generally attributed due to the poor subgrade conditions.When soil is used in embankment construction, in addition to stability incompressibility is also important as differential settlement may cause failures.Compacted soil and stabilized soil are often used in sub-base or base course of highway pavements.The soil is therefore considered as one of the principal highway materials.Investigations were carried out on selected soil samples from Haryana .These samples were tested without admixtures and with admixture of lime and Recron 3s Fibre to determine enhancement in their characteristics.The results of the study show that both lime & Recron 3s fibre are suitable for enhancing characteristics of the soils that are generally available in Haryana.”
