Expansive soils present issues in plan, development and support of common structures. Part of research is proceeding to improve the properties of expansive soils. The test results assembled over the previous years demonstrate the potential for utilization of various kinds of fiber in improving properties of expansive soils. In this examination impact of arbitrarily situated polypropylene fibers on CBR esteem, UCS esteem and shear parameters utilizing direct shear test is contemplated. Fiber content is shifted from 0.0% to 0.4% in ventures of 0.1% (S0-S4 tests). Results demonstrate improved soil properties. UCS esteem increments from 7.4% to 24.43%; CBR esteem expands 23.55% to 59.88% ; union increments from 5.9% to 26.80% and point of inward rubbing increments from 24.84% to 53.79% with increment of fiber content from 0.1% to 0.4% contrasted with 0.0% fiber content(S0 test).
