Abstract

The inclusion of recycled jute fibers in soil is gaining attention as a sustainable method for enhancing soil strength characteristics. This overview article examines the impact of integrating jute fibers into soil on its engineering properties, particularly focusing on strength aspects. Recycled jute fibers, a byproduct of jute production, are environmentally friendly and cost-effective, presenting an alternative to conventional soil reinforcement materials. The review synthesizes findings from various studies on how jute fibers affect soil compaction, shear strength, and overall stability. It highlights that the addition of jute fibers generally improves the tensile strength and reduces the brittleness of soil, thereby enhancing its load-bearing capacity. The article also discusses the optimal fiber content and distribution for achieving the best performance, along with the potential benefits and limitations of using recycled jute fibers in different soil types and environmental conditions. This approach not only contributes to better soil management but also promotes recycling and sustainability in construction practices.
