Soil samples of varying liquid limits were collected from different locations is used in the current work by adding glass, polypropylene and basalt fibres to stabilize the soil. This study was conducted on the soil samples to analyze the index and engineering properties. The tests were performed in the laboratory by altering the various fibres percentages as 0.5%, 1% and 2% by the weight of soils. The fibres of 12mm length are used in this study. From the experimental results, MDD and UCS values are increased and also OMC values are decreases. For Red soil, UCS increased with addition of 0.5% PP fibres by weight of soil. For Black cotton soil, UCS increased with addition of 1% glass fibres by weight of soil. Author concludes that addition of Glass fibres gives high compressive strength as compared with other fibres for Black cotton soil and for Red soil PP fibres which gives high compressive strength as compared with others fibres.
