Abstract

Infrastructure projects such as highways,  railways, water reservoirs, reclamation etc. requires earth  material in very large quantity. In urban areas, borrow earth  is not easily available which has to be hauled from a long  distance. Quite often, large areas are covered with highly  plastic and expansive soil, which is not suitable for such  purpose. Extensive laboratory / field trials have been carried  out by various researchers and have shownpromising results for application fly ash for this purpose. As  fly ash is freely available, for projects in the vicinity of  Thermal Power Plants, it can be used as filling material. But  it is not suitable as bearing material due to its low shear  strength. The present report describes a study carried out to  check the improvements in the properties of fly ash with  polypropylene fiber in varying percentages. Laboratory trials  have been carried out and results are reported in this report. Shear strength of fly ash  reinforced with different percentages of polypropylene fiber  is checked. Results show the positive effect of addition of  fiber in fly ash.
