Paper Title
Subgrade Soil Stabilization Using Jute Fibre as a Reinforcing Material
Authors

Abstract
The stability of any pavement depends upon the stability of its subgrade soil. Subgrade governs the performance, life span and effectiveness of the pavement. The entire load coming over the pavement is ultimately borne by the subgrade. Thus, the subgrade plays a very important role in the pavement design. Now-a-days, many techniques are used to stabilize the subgrade soil, use of natural fibres being one of them . Natural fibres are cheap, easily available and eco friendly. In order to stabilize the subgrade soil, jute fibres in different lengths (30mm, 60mm and 90mm) and proportions of 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% were used as the reinforcing agents in the present study. The California Bearing Ratio test was conducted on all the samples and the results have been presented in the paper.
Keywords- California Bearing Ratio, Subgrade, Jute fibre
