As a high-quality reinforced material, basalt fiber has been widely concerned by scientific research workers. By changing the length (6mm,12mm,18mm,24mm,30mm) and amount of basalt fiber (0.3%,0.5%,0.7%,1%) and the proportion of cement in cement soil (10%,15%,20%,25%), make cubes of different ages(7d,14d,28d)and then conduct unconfined compression test. Effect on compressive strength of cement-soil with basalt fiber is researched. It is showed that the optimum mixing length of basalt fiber is 18mm and the optimum dosage range is 0.5%-0.7%.Basalt Fiber shows excellent performance on the early strength of cement soil and it has a good toughening effect.
