1. The document studies the effect of adding polyethylene fibers on the strength properties of fly ash obtained from a local thermal power station, through unconsolidated undrained triaxial tests. 2. The study found that adding fibers increased the peak deviator stress, elastic moduli, strain at failure and shear strength parameters like cohesion and angle of internal friction of the fly ash. Higher fiber content and aspect ratio led to greater improvements in strength. 3. The increased strength is due to fibers transferring shear stresses better and providing more surface area for interlocking with increasing aspect ratio, leading to more ductile failure behavior in reinforced fly ash.
