A Review on Strengthening of Pavement by Using GGBS and Sisal Fiber

Soils vary from place to place and also their properties. Selection of such materials and methods for soil stabilization requires sound engineering judgement, therefore the best way to select suitable materials is testing of soil. The method and material selected for soil stabilization should be verified in laboratory before commencement of field construction. Nowadays various materials and techniques are being used for soil stabilization. The choice of particular material and method depends on properties of soil and type of construction also on cost and environmental considerations. There is need to look toward different industrial waste materials which are being produced in huge quantities. Soil stabilization using waste GGBS and sisal fiber is one of such method, which can be used to improve the geotechnical properties of soil. The amount of waste materials from different industries have been increasing day by day and disposal of such waste material in environmentally safer way is a matter of serious concern. These industrial wastes cause serious threats to environment and human health. As these materials cannot be disposed of properly and disposal of such materials is not economical. The problem of disposal of such material can be overcome by using these materials for soil stabilization.
