Abstract
Numerous ground improvement techniques have been used to stabilize marginal soils to make it more feasible for construction purposes. Soil reinforcement using natural fibres is increasingly preferred as they are sustainable, readily available and inexpensive. This study aims at improving the engineering properties of lateritic soil using the natural coir fibres as reinforcement material. Laboratory tests such as UCS test and direct shear test have been carried out to evaluate the effect of various fibre parameters such as fibre content and fibre length on the engineering properties of soil. Results showed significant improvement in the strength characteristics of lateritic soil after the addition of coir fibres. Optimum fibre parameters that contributed to the enhanced performance of soil were also identified.
