Soil is frequently weak and unstable when subjected to strong loads. The study’s goal was to conduct a literature review on soil stabilization utilizing low-cost technologies. For the stabilization of expansive soils, several reinforcing techniques are available, including stabilization via chemical additions, rewetting, soil replacement, compaction control, moisture management, surcharge loading, and thermal treatments. All these solutions may have the drawbacks of being unsuccessful and costly. According to the previous literature, artificial and natural fibers are low-cost and efficient soil stabilizing materials. It is also motivating to find out that the fibers’ tensile strength and elongation are higher when wet. Based on the previous studies, the results showed that adding 0.5–2% of 3 mm 2. artificial fiber thickness resulted in a (50–68)% improvement in intensity. Adding 2% of 6 mm normal 2. artificial fibers, 1% of 12 mm normal fibers, or 1.5% of 6 mm wavy fibers is highly compressible clay soil, the Unconfined Compression Shear test (UCS) value increased by 100%. However, natural fibers such as sisal, jute, coconut and coir fibres reinforcement placed as layers significantly improve CBR value and shear resistance in black cotton soil. It is possible to conclude that the fibers have potential as raw materials for enhancing the geotechnical features of soil.
