Fiber reinforced soil have become one of the construction materials in civil engineering. Construction of building and other civil engineering structures on available soil is risky. There may be the need for the soil treatment to improve the engineering properties of soil. In practice, admixtures like fly-ash, lime, geotextile are used frequently to stabilize soils and improve their strength properties. Coir Geotextile can be effectively used as stabilizer and reinforcement in paved and unpaved roads. It improves the mechanical characteristics of roads, yielding to significant increase in road span and reduction in maintenance cost. The purpose of this investigation is to identify and quantify the influence of coir on performance of fiber reinforced soil specimen. In this study, placing of coir geotextile in different depth and type of coir geotextile, are taken as parameters to investigate the relative strength gained in terms of CBR and thereby the design of flexible pavement on the basis of traffic survey.
