- Rapid growth in industrialization and urbanization, leads to an increasing scarcity of lands which is intending to utilize the available lands even though it is problematic in nature. Problematic nature of soils leads to high plasticity characteristics, low shear strength and high swell shrinkage characteristics. These soils can be used for construction purposes only after adopting suitable ground improvement techniques. On the other side huge volume of wastes from daily life resulting in disposal problems and soil contamination and health issues. In geotechnical view point plastic is a fibrous material that used for reinforcing the soil is commonly known and it also influences the compaction and consolidation behavior of that reinforced soil. View of the above, the present study is experimented to study the feasibility of highly compressible clayey soil treated with HDPE fiber in three aspect ratios (AR = l/b), 2(10x5mm), 4(10x2.5mm), 8(10x1.25mm) at four different percentages 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00 by dry weight of soil. The stabilized soil properties to be characterized by California bearing ratio test (CBR), Unconfined Compression Test (UCC) and Consolidation Test.
