Abstract
This
study
explores
the
impact
of
basalt
fiber
reinforcement
on
unconfined
compressive
strength
(UCS)
cement-stabilized
clay,
aiming
to
enhance
its
suitability
for
geotechnical
applications.
A
series
laboratory
experiments
were
conducted
evaluate

Scanning
Electron

examined
microstructural

The
results
indicate
that
incorporating

significantly
improves
