Abstract
This study aimed at the strength increase of the soft ground and analyzed the strength characteristics of clay soil reinforced with hair fiber which is environmentally friendly. The study varied the length of hair fiber, the amount of hair fiber, the amount of cement, and curing days to investigate both the compressive and tensile strengths and the stress-strain relationship of hair fiber mixed clay soils. The test results indicated that both the compressvie and tensile strengths increased with hair fiber mixed, especially in the tensile strength. In addition, the hair fiber mixed clay soil allowed larger displacement to failure. Based on the test results, it is thought that the environmentally friendly hair fiber could be utilized practically to increase the clay strength in the future.
