One of the encountered issues on sites, in construction is the presence of highly cohesive soils, soils that are easily affected by the change of the water content. Active clay soils present a problematic challenge for civil and geotechnical engineers all over the world. Stabilization procedures are available in order to reduce or completely eliminate the swelling potential of expansive clays. The problematic soil is removed and replaced by a good quality material or treated using mechanical or chemical stabilization. The materials were used for preparing the samples are Expansive Soil, Quarry Dust and Recron 3S Fibre with different percentages. Soil stabilization is very necessary by the addition of additives in suitable dosages for road pavement foundation because it improves the engineering properties of soil to sustain load carrying capacity in terms of quality and quantity of performance. To overcome the same, many researchers have concentrated their studies on soil improvement techniques by developing new such materials, through the elaboration of composites. The main objective of this study is to study the effect of fibers in geotechnical applications. In this study a brief review is prepared on properties of material and some works carried out by various authors.
