Influence of Polypropylene Fibers on Geotechnical Properties of Pond Ash

Abstract

Pond ash is an unwanted product from thermal power stations. Way of reducing the pollution of pond ash disposal determinations is recycled and reused in different engineering applications. The quality of pond ash can affect the quality and strength of engineering applications. This research paper using fiber reinforcement techniques to improve the geotechnical properties of pond ash. Polypropylene fiber is used to reinforce for stabilization of pond ash. In this research, some laboratory tests as compaction test, CBR tests, and direct shear tests are conducted. Polypropylene fiber used in different length 12mm and 24 mm with different content i.e. 0.5%,1%,2% and 3% .As per results found that there is a significant effect of polypropylene fiber on the geotechnical properties of Pond Ash.
