Abstract

This study was aimed at determining the effectiveness of random inclusion of jute fibers with black carbon on the properties of soil. Fiber length and inclusion percentage of fiber and black carbon in the soil mass were taken as the initial study perimeters. The laboratory CBR value of soil reinforced with the jute fibre with black carbon content is determined and also the length of fibre is also determined. The results indicates that the increase in the fibre content with black carbon content in the soil sample increases the CBR value, dry density and OMC of the reinforced sample. The most efficient effects of soil reinforcement was achieved by adding the fibre content of 1% and length of 20 mm with the black carbon content of 11%.
