| dc.description.abstract | Abu Dhabi sand lacks the required engineering properties to suffice as pavement base course, subbase course, subgrade and as a foundation-support layer under buildings and various structures. Low bearing capacity is manifested on the roadways as differential settlement, waviness and undulations. Stabilization of this type of sand is one of the major geotechnical challenges in practice. In this study the sandy soil was improved by mixing with geofiber. Three different levels of geofiber was added to the sandy soil; 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4% by dry weight of sand. The results showed great increase in shear strength as indicated by the CBR values. The CBR values have increased from 19 to 55 for 0 and 0.4% geofiber content respectively.
