Development requires new findings and innovative science to support. This research aims to study the simulation of soft ground improvement by comparing the soil strength after mixing with pozzolanic and fibrous additive such as Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) and Palm Oil Fibre (POF) were chosen due to its redundancy found as industrial waste material. The soft soil sample collected was added with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% percentage of additives by weight respectively. The soil sample used was from the soil that passed through sieve size of 0.425 mm. The data and analysis show that POF treated soil has a higher optimum moisture content and greater shear strength than the POFA treated soil.
