Project: Effect of Moisture Content on Reinforced Clay Soil Strength

This project examines the critical relationship between moisture content and the strength of reinforced clay soil, a vital consideration for construction and agricultural applications. The project outlines the need for soil testing and stabilization, particularly highlighting the use of polypropylene fibers to enhance soil properties. It details the objectives of the study, which include finding the effect of moisture content on clay soil and fibers, and identifying the significance of various tests for stakeholders like farmers, builders, and government entities. The project reviews relevant literature on water composition, aggregate used in polypropylene fibers, and various tests for estimating moisture, such as the Compaction Test, Undrained Unconsolidated Test, and Liquid Limit Test. It also discusses the Liquid Falcon Test. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of understanding moisture content in clay soil stabilization and highlights the project's contribution to understanding the impact of fiber composition and moisture on soil integrity. The project also enriches the research skills of the student. References are provided for further study.
