Rapid improvements in the engineering world have influenced the lifestyle of human beings to a great extent.But the day to day activities of mankind are augmenting risks to the environment in the same proportion. Use of steelproducts in various industries is increasing day by day leading to various environmental concerns. Therefore, the disposal ofthe steel wastes without causing any ecological hazards has become a real challenge. Steel wastes have become one of themajor problems for the world. In recent years, researchers from various fields have attempted to solve environmentalproblems and huge waste caused by the production of non-biodegradable wastes like steel. Using a geotechnical viewpoint,this study proposes a partial solution to a major item which piles up in the wastages i.e. Steel waste. But the primaryobjective of this study is to examine the potential capability of stabilizing soil using waste steel fiber. Various tests such asStandard Proctor, CBR were carried out with different samples to determine the effect of steel fibers in silty clay. The initialresults obtained were promising and supporting the fact of achieving stability of the soil. The advantages of this study resultsin three folds- Utilization of natural resource (silty clay), Economy, and waste management. Mixing of steel waste fiber withexpansive soil helps to mitigate the volume change behavior of soil.
