Stabilized soils are commonly used as part of pavement construction in highway engineering. The everyday use of this material makes it necessary to classify it. One of the basic methods of determining the mechanical properties of a material is the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test, from which the material elasticity can be determined. The scope of the research included the design and making of soil mixtures stabilized with polypropylene fibers modified cement. This paper presents the effect of the amount of dispersed reinforcement on the maximum compressive strength, the secant modulus at half the ultimate stress (E50), the secant modulus at the ultimate stress (Es), and the tangent modulus (Et). The materials chapter characterizes the soil, cement, and dispersed reinforcement used. The test methods section describes the tests performed and the procedure for interpreting the results. The results section describes the relationship between elastic modulus and compressive strength. The discussion section compares the obtained results with the works of other authors. The work is concluded with a summary containing the most important conclusions resulting from the work.
