Abstract:Waste non-woven geotextiles, as natural polypropylene materials, have good mechanical properties. The polypropylene fibers with a proportion of 0.25% ~ 1.00% are used to reinforce the roadbed stuffing of West Fuxi Road. The changes in the physical and mechanical properties of the in-situ soil after reinforcement with polypropylene fibers of different proportions are studied through compaction tests, CBR tests and permeability tests. The results show that with the increase of the fiber proportion, the maximum dry density of the soil slightly decreases and the optimal moisture content increases. The CBR of the reinforced soil decreases with the rise of the fiber proportion. When the fiber proportion is 0.5%, there is a peak in CBR. All parameters meet the relevant requirements of the rural highway design standards. Furthermore, after adding polypropylene fibers, the permeability coefficient of the soil is significantly increased, indicating that using polypropylene fibers to reinforce the roadbed soil can improve the drainage property of roadbed.
