        abstract = {The use of techniques for soil stabilization has increased significantly to adopt cost effective solutions to achieve reductions in the quantities of material used and etc. Nano particles are one of the latest additives used. The use of Nano additives in some field such as soil improvement, grouting, liquefaction risk mitigation, seepage has offered greater advantages in geotechnics. The main objective of the project is to investigate the optimal combination of Nano silica and polypropylene fibre content in kaolinite and bentonite soil. Five different combinations of Nano silica are added in varying percentages like 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1%. Polypropylene fibres are added in the varying percentages such as 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% used in integration with optimum amount of Nano silica. The engineering properties such as liquid limit, plastic limit, compaction characteristics, Unconfined compressive strength are analyzed with virgin soil, the soil with Nano silica and combination of soil with Nano silica and polypropylene fibres. From these experiments, it has been analyzed that with the increase in polypropylene fibre content in addition to Nano silica, the Unconfined compressive strength increases and maximum value of Unconfined compressive strength is obtained.},
