The present study is aimed to compare the behaviour of black cotton soil reinforced with sisal and coconut fibre also referred as coir. The soil used is black cotton soil collected from Arera Colony Area of Bhopal District (M.P). Sisal fibre and coconut fibre are mixed randomly with soil in varying percentages (2%, 4% and 6%) respectively by dry weight of soil and compacted to maximum dry density at optimum moisture content. The standard fibre-reinforced soil is defined as a soil mass that contains randomly distributed, discrete elements, i.e. fibres, which provide an improvement in the mechanical behaviour of the soil composite. Sisal fibre is one of the natural fibres that can be used for various industrial and construction purposes, the other fibres include bamboo, jute, coir etc. The test results indicate an improvement in the CBR value of soil due to the addition of sisal fibre and coconut fibre and the combination of above two shows better results. The optimum CBR value is obtained for 2 cm length for both the fibres i.e. for sisal fibre with 4% fibre content and for coconut fibre with 6%.
