1. The document discusses using coir fibers to stabilize soil properties. Coir fibers are a natural fiber extracted from coconut husks that are tough, strong, and resistant to degradation.
2. The study aims to determine how mixing plain and treated coir fibers into soil at different proportions affects the soil's index properties, engineering properties, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values, and unconfined compression strength.
3. A literature review found that previous studies show coir fibers can improve the performance of unpaved roads when used as reinforcement and increase CBR values and load-carrying capacity when mixed with soil.
