In recent years, the Carabayllo district has experienced rapid urban expansion, becoming the most vulnerable district to disasters in Lima. However, clay deposits can be found where the population has built their homes. The problem is that these soils are very prone to large deformations and low resistance, which can be recognized by their sudden volumetric change. Therefore, soil improvement is necessary to improve its resistance, and for this we use Guar Gum and Polypropylene Fiber as additives to improve mechanical properties. The methodology of this research consisted of physical and mechanical tests for the original soil sample (S100) and the other three samples with additions of guar gum and polypropylene fibers (S215, S220 and S225). It was determined that the original soil is classified in SUCS as a CL (low plasticity sandy clay). From the modified Proctor test, the decrease in overall density was generated by the replacement of polypropylene fibers with low density. From the triaxial test, high cohesions were obtained with respect to the original but they decreased as the concentrations increased. Finally, it was evident that sample No. 3 with 2% guar gum and 0.20% polypropylene fibers is the one that performed best in adequately improving the properties of the soil. In conclusion, Guar Gum and Polypropylene Fiber have shown that they can greatly help improve clay soils.
