Abstract :Soil stabilization with different additives has attracted the attention of geotechnical engineers for many years. With soil stabilization, the bearing capacity of weak soil is increased, total settlements are reduced, the stability of fills and slopes is ensured, retaining walls are supported and potential liquefaction risks are reduced. One of these methods is the improvement of soils with additives. Polypropylene fiber was used for stabilization purposes within the scope of evaluation of waste material in the experimental program. 0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% polypropylene fiber was added to low and high plasticity clay soil. In the study, hydrometer test, specific gravity test, Atterberg limits, Standard proctor test and uniaxial compressive strength test were performed. Adding fiber to the clay soil, designated as CL and CH according to the unified soil classification system, caused an increase in the strength values at the end of different curing periods.Keywords : Kil zemin, Kür, Polipropilen elyaf, Tek eksenli basınç mukavemeti, Zemin iyileştirilmesi
