This paper aims to check the effectiveness of waste fibre material on the engineering properties of red soil. The main purpose is to select some waste fibre materials which helps in enhancing the engineering properties of soil. Soil reinforcement has been introduced into the field of geotechnical engineering for many years in order to improve the properties of ground soil in specific engineering projects. Considering these, a series of tests were performed with red soil with waste fibre as reinforcement at various percentage content to find out its effects on the soil and to find whether the particular soil- reinforcement combination is useful.

The present paper reviews the application of nanotechnology in geotechnical engineering, in which the concept of nanotechnology as well as the new concept of nanosol is explained. We have also given explanation for nanometer additives used in the introduced soil, different forms of nanoparticles, their specific properties, and effects of these nanoparticles on engineering properties of soil including index properties and strength, and analyzed the reasons through which these effects are caused. Furthermore, influence of recent advances in nanoinstruments and electron microscopes as well as their application in geotechnical studies.

In this review article the usage of waste sewage sludge and the biomass ash for improving the engineering and non-engineering properties’ of both concrete and soil are discussed in detail. Numerous past research works were studied in detail so as to predict the behavior of biomass ash and waste sewage sludge when used for the stabilization process of soil and concrete. Past studies related to the usage of stabilized sewage sludge and biomass ash were studied in a detailed manner and depending upon the past studies several conclusions has been drawn which are discussed further. Several studies related to the usage of the waste sewage sludge for improving soil physical, chemical and biological properties showed that the usage of waste sewage sludge improve the physical properties, chemical properties, macro-nutriential properties and micro-nutriential properties up to a great extent. Depending upon the results of the past studies it can be concluded that the usage of sewage sludge has positive impact over all the properties of soil and this waste should be utilized in improving the properties of soil rather than dumping. Numerous studies related to the usage of the biomass ash showed that biomass ash has positive impact over both soil as well as concrete. Studies related to the usage of the biomass ash in soil showed that there was a positive response of the stabilized soil after its stabilization with the biomass ash. Studies related to the usage of the biomass ash in concrete showed that the biomass ash can be used up to 10 percent replacement of the ordinary Portland cement so as to attain maximum strength results from it.
