we have to have proper knowledge about its parcels and the factors which affect the behavior of the soil. The processes of soil stabilization enhance the parcels of soil and achieve the demanded need for the construction work. In recent times, the demand for structure, raw accouterments, and energy has increased, so soil stabilization has started to take a new shape. In India, the ultramodern period of soil stabilization began in the early 1970s, with a general insufficiency of petroleum and summations, it came necessary for the masterminds to look at means to ameliorate soil other than replacing the poor soil at the structure point. In recent times, with the increase in the demand for structure, raw paraphernalia, and energy, soil stabilization has started to take a new shape. With the vacuity of better exploration, paraphernalia, and outfit, it's arising as a popular and cost-effective system for soil enhancement. The enhancement in the shear strength parameters has been stressed and relative studies have been carried out using different styles of shear resistance dimension.
Soil is very important part in every construction work. But some types of soil could not bear the load, so we need to improve its properties. Structure which have constructed over the expansive soil may occurred several damage due to high swelling behavior. So these types of soil need to be stabilized by increase its shear strength, load bearing capacity and durability as well as to prevent from erosion. The new technique can be effectively used for soil stabilization by using waste materials. Various case studies have been carried out for these types of soil to increases its soil properties. The main objective of this study is to investigate the use of waste fiber material in geotechnical application and to evaluate the effect of waste polypropylene fibers on shear strength of soil by adding different percentage on the shear strength test of different types of soil samples. The laboratory tests were conducted like Specific gravity, Liquid limit, Plastic limit, Sieve analysis, Standard proctor test, direct shear and UCS test discriminative fiber contents. This aims of the project work to evaluate the effect of the addition of 0%, 0.05%, 0.15%, 0.25% reinforcement to stabilize the soil.

1. INTRODUCTION
Soil stabilization is the process in which we meliorate the physical parcels of soil by adding external agents. Soils are generally stabilized to increase their strength and continuity or to help corrosion and dust conformation in soils. The main end is the creation of a soil material or system that will hold under the design use conditions and for the designed life of the engineering design. The parcels of soil vary a great deal at different places or in certain cases indeed at one place; the success of soil stabilization depends on soil testing. colorful styles are employed to stabilize soil and the system should be vindicated in the lab with the soil material before applying it on the field. For any structure, the most important part of the structure is a foundation, which strongly carried out the entire weight of the structure. In order for foundation, soil plays the most important part in it. So work with soil, first of all,

To evaluate the index properties of different soil samples. By using polypropylene fiber, the strength characteristics of the soil increases. Compare the strength properties between different soil samples with fiber and without fiber. The soil strength was increases by adding different percentage of polypropylene fiber. Observed the effect of fiber on the shear strength value and compressive strength of the soil.
2. MATERIALS USED 2.1 SOIL The soil is collected from Near Phulnakhara and Naraj Cuttack. Different types of laboratory properties such as specific gravity, Atterberg limits, Standard proctor test, Direct shear test and UCS test. The physical characteristics of soil are summarized in Table-1 and Table-2.
