The use of natural rather than artificial materials is of considerable interest in sustainable
geotechnics. This review study focused on soil reinforcement with plant fibers and explored …

The increasing demand for construction materials along with the challenge of waste
management has necessitated the development of sustainable materials utilising wastes …

Stability of any structure depends on strength properties of underground soil on which it is
constructed. Structures basically transfer all the loads comes on itself directly to the ground …

Weak lateritic subgrades are more often than not encountered during road construction in
Ghana. This makes it necessary to find economically efficient ways to improve the …

Soil is very important in civil engineering constructions. The poor engineering properties of
the local soils may present many difficulties for construction and therefore need to improve …

The use of natural fibers such as coir for soil improvement is highly attractive in countries like
India where such materials are locally and economically obtainable, in view of the …

Soil is main part of every building and structure, without soil no structure could stand up. Soil
plays a vital role in the constructure of every structure. If soil is strong in shear strength the …

The growing urbanization needs a good road network. A durable subgrade always supports
a road for a longer period to perform better. The serviceability of roads largely depends on …

The objective of this paper is to analyze the mechanical behavior of a clayey sand soil with
added green coir fiber at 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% by dry weight, through a series of …

Strength of subgrade soil plays a vital role in determining the thickness and service life of a
pavement. Thickness of pavement can be reduced by improving the strength and stability of …
