• Abstract:

  Expansive Soils Cause Serious Problems And Produces Damage To Many Civil Engineering Structures Due To Swelling And Shrinkage. Properties Of Soil Directly Influence The Bearing Capacity Which Influences The Loads Of Super Structure. A Strong Soil Aids In Large Structures Where As A Weak Soil Hinders The Constructions Of Structures. Hence To Overcome Is Deficiencies Of The Presence Of Weak Soil; Soil Is Stabilized To Improve Its Properties. This Study Focuses On The Use Of Mixture Of “GROUND GRANULATED BLAST FURNACE SLAG (GGBS) And POLPROPYLENE FIBER (PPF)” As A Suitable Stabilizer. In This Study Various Mixtures Of GGBS With Constant Polypropylene Fiber Percentage Is Added To The Collected Soil Sample And Their Index Properties And Strength Properties Are Studied.
