Reinforced earth technique is considered as an effective ground improvement method because of its cost effectiveness, easy adaptability and reproducibility. In All eppey district in Kerala, Rice Straw reinforced bunds are built between paddy fields. These bunds are used for transport of both men and vehicles. In this context, a detailed study is undertaken to study the effect of Rice Straw as a reinforcement material in Kuttanad clay used as a pavement material. The study is intended to investigate the strength behaviour of the soil reinforced with randomly included Rice Straw fibres. The samples were reinforced with untreated Rice Straw. The untreated Rice Straw was added to soil in addition with Lime also. The reinforced soil samples were then subjected to Unconfined Compressive Strength, Light Compaction and California Bearing Ratio tests to study the effect of fibre reinforcement on Kuttanad clay.
