Nano-zeolite was used in the present study as a substitute for a part of lime and then inclusion polypropylene fiber in stabilized soil matrix to develop the soil stabilization method with lime and to improve the efficiency of this technique. In so doing, specimens of soft soil with 5, 10 and 15% of...
