Abstract

In this paper we focus on the improvement of engineering properties of loose sand by using jute fiber and kaolin fine powder as admixture. The loose sand is treated with Jute fiber and kaolin powder to enhance its engineering properties. In this study the effect of using the jute fiber as soil reinforcement and the kaolin powder as soil stabilizer is investigated experimentally. Present work has been performed by adding 20 mm jute pieces as admixture. Variable percentages of 0.1%, .2%, .3% by weight of jute pieces were mixed with loose sand at different moisture contents. Also variable percentages of 1%, 2%, 3% of kaolin powder are added to the loose sand with different moisture contents. The maximum dry densities and optimum water contents are determined for all sampels by using Standard Proctor Test. On the basis of the experiments performed, it is determined that the stabilization of loose sand using 20mm pieces of jute and kaolin
powder as admixtures improve the maximum dry unit weight of the loose sand so that it become usable as soil improvement method.
