To overcome the problems, soft soil has to be stabilised. To do soil stabilisation, it Is imperative to add some mixture as additional substance in order to improve the characteristic of the soft soil. Plastic sacks fibre is one of the easily obtainable material which consists of high density profile, while bran ash contains good carbon and silica. This research aimed to determine the optimum level of plastic sacks waste fibre and bran ash to obtain the maximum soil shear strength and to compare the original soil shear strength with the modified mixture soil shear strength. The strength tests were conducted on the laboratory scale using the triaxial test device for the Unconsolidated Undrained (UU) test. Soft clay sample was mixed with the chop of plastic sacks fibre with the following level of composition : 0.4 % , 0.6 %, 0.8 %, 1 %, and also the bran ash composition content of 0 %, 2 % and 4 % ...
