摘要：Utilization of waste materials in transportation has been vogue all over the world for quite some time.Copper slag is one of the waste material being extensively used in civil engineering construction and natural fiber jutewhich is abundantly and locally available is used as reinforcing material for black cotton soil. The present studydiscusses the results of a series of load settlement behavior of model footing tests on black cotton soil reinforced withuntreated and treated jute fibers with optimum dosage of copper slag. The optimum dosage of copper slag is obtainedby compaction test, from results it is concluded that optimum dosage was 50% replacement of copper slag with blackcotton soil. An attempt has been made for alkali treatment of jute fibers to avoid degradation and to act as waterrepellent, a series of unconfined compressive strength test was carried out to determine optimum percentage ofuntreated and treated jute fibers. Six series of different combinations of load settlements tests are observed with twodifferent sizes of model footings.
