Abstract:In the Kashmir region of Pakistan, the presence of Siwalik Clays engenders serviceability issues to the infrastructure causing substantial loss of property. In the present study, an attempt has been made to address these issues using polypropylene fibers as a sustainable modifier. These fibers were used in five different proportions viz. 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, and 1.25% as partial replacement of base soil to analyses their impact on the engineering behavior of matrices. Classification, compaction, indirect te… Show more
