A Experimental Work on Black Cotton Soil, Roads Are Subgraded with Coconut Fibre for Rural Roads

EasyChair Preprint 7840

Abstract

Soft soils are a difficult sub-grade for pavements because of their low shear strength and strength. Pumping activities may occur when pavement loads strike soft sub-grade soil in areas with a high water table, generating design and in-service performance difficulties. Coir waste is a potential hazard to land resources because of its continuous lignin structure. Permeability and CBR are two important factors to consider when designing and assessing a pavement's long-term performance. In this project, just the strength of the pavement sub-grade was taken into account. It's a relatively common occurrence. This strategy has the dual benefit of boosting soil strength and giving a solution to the difficult problem of rubbish disposal. Coir waste, which is made up of coir pith and coir fibre, is a by-product of the coir manufacturing process and is made from coconut husk during the extraction of coir fibre.

Keyphrases: Coir fiber, Pavement, Subbase, bearing capacity
