A database of the mechanical behavior of 25 natural sands was compiled from the existing
literature. Particle shape and size analysis, obtained by dynamic imaging analysis, for each …

Strength and compressibility characteristics of problematic soils such as loose sands and
extra-sensitive clays need to be enhanced for the construction purposes which is due in part …

Conventional triaxial compression tests were conducted to determine the effect of cement
and polypropylene fiber reinforcement on sand. The cement content was 3%(dry wt.) of the …

This work studies the effect of binder and fibre quantity on the mechanical behaviour of
“Baixo Mondego” soft soil, chemically stabilised with binders and reinforced/non-reinforced …

This work studies the effect of using two types of polymer (fibers and liquid) to enhance the
strength of cemented soft clay. Four polymer contents were used (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1% by …

Calcareous sand is widely present in coastal areas around the world and is usually
considered as a weak and unstable material due to its high compressibility and low strength …

In this research, a series of laboratory tests have been performed to investigate the effects of
cement and polypropylene (PP) fiber on the triaxial behavior of sand. The cement contents …

This research aims to establish accurate correlations between critical state characteristics
and particle shape parameters in terms of overall regularity (OR), considering the gradation …

This paper reports on the development of a dosage methodology based of compressive
strength for artificially cemented fiber-reinforced soils. The controlling parameters evaluated …

Cemented tailings find various applications in mining, such as open-pit and underground
backfill, dam decommissioning and filtered tailings stacking. This research investigates the …
