Abstract

Soil stabilization is a crucial aspect of construction and civil engineering projects, aimed at improving the engineering properties of soils. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the utilization of jute and gypsum for soil stabilization. Jute, a natural fiber, and gypsum, a mineral, have shown promising results in enhancing the mechanical and geotechnical properties of various types of soils. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of jute and gypsum as soil stabilizers, examining their impact on soil strength, durability, and sustainability. This paper also highlights the mechanisms and interactions involved in the soil stabilization process using jute and gypsum and discusses potential challenges and future research directions.There are many stabilizers like jute, gypsum, rice-husk ash, cement lime, HHF, shredded rubber tyres etc. are used to strengthen the properties of soil. In this study, we added jute and gypsum as stabilizing material to increase the engineering properties of clayey soil. The purpose of this study is to improve the strength of the clayey soil by making soil-jute and soil-jute-gvpsum mixture. Several specimens are prepared to examine the properties of soil. Some specimens are prepared by adding varying length of l cm, 1.5 cm and 2cm jute and the parent soil. Some specimens are prepared by adding 1.5% of jute and 0.5% of gypsum with parent soil, with varying length of 1 cm, 1.5 cm and 2cm of jute as used earlier. The Standard proctor test is performed to determine Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) and Maximum dry density (MDD) of the soil. The Unconfined compressive strength test is conducted to investigate compressive strength of soil mixture.
