This study presents the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced clay soil with green coconut fibers (waste from consumption of coconut water), by conducting tests for the characterization and mechanical compaction tests and isotropically drained triaxial tests. The coconut fiber used is obtained by a mechanical process in ECOFIBRA company, which has a partnership with the Urban Cleaning Company of the city of Rio de Janeiro (COMLURB) in a pilot project about separate collection of green coconut shells. The received material was studied in two ways; the fibers were inserted into the milled and cut (in the approximate length of 2 cm). The clay soil, with colluvium origin, was removed from the experimental field of PUC-Rio. Seeks to establish patterns of behavior that might explain the influence of the addition of green coconut fiber, relating it to the parameters of shear strength and deformation of soil and composites. The tests were performed on samples compressed at maximum density and optimum moisture content in the milled fiber of 0.5 percent and 1percent fiber content and the cut of 0.5 per cent, 0.75 per cent, 1 per cent, 1.25 per cent and 1.5 per cent on dry weight of the soil. Observed na increase in shear strength of the soil-fiber mixtures, since it was observed a modest increase in friction angle and a significant increase in the cohesion of reinforced mixtures, ompared to the data obtained for the pure soil. The results ere satisfactory for application of soil einforced with coconut fiber layers temporary landfills subjected to static loads, thus giving a more sustainable destination to this residue, given the environmental and socio-economic.
