This study presents an experimental evaluation of the geotechnical behavior of soil treated with chitosan biopolymer and sisal fiber. Locally available soil was selected to ensure practical relevance and site-specific applicability. The chitosan biopolymer (CB) and plant fiber (PF) were incorporated into the soil at two dosage levels—1% and 1.5%—to investigate their impact on soil characteristics. Both CB and PF were sourced from nearby markets, highlighting their economic feasibility and accessibility for field implementation. A series of laboratory tests, including the Standard Proctor Test (SPT), California Bearing Ratio (CBR), and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), were conducted in accordance with Indian Standard (IS) codes to ensure methodological consistency and reliability. The findings revealed that the combined use of chitosan biopolymer and sisal fiber significantly enhanced the soil’s strength, stiffness, and compaction performance. These results underscore the potential of these natural additives as sustainable and effective solutions for soil stabilization and ground improvement.
