Expansive clays are present in many places across the world. They have an intrinsic volume
change that causes fractures, differential settlements, heaves, and damage to the overlaying …

In order to study the effect of addition of rice husk ash, pond ash, cement and fiber on the
compaction and strength behavior of clay, a series of tests were performed. Modified proctor …

The tensile strength of soil is an important mechanical parameter that controls the
development of tension cracks. In this study, randomly distributed polypropylene fibers were …

This paper describes laboratory drained standard triaxial tests conducted on artificially
cemented Osorio sand specimens reinforced with randomly oriented discrete extensible …

This study aims to verify the differences in the strength of an artificially cemented sandy soil
with and without fiber reinforcement. The controlling parameters evaluated were the amount …

Modeling approaches to fully capture the behavior of fiber-reinforced clay remain lacking,
although the beneficial role of discrete short fibers in reinforcing soils is an established …

This paper explores the possibility of improving the monotonic undrained response of a
loose clean sand which normally appears susceptible to the phenomenon of static …

Fibres can be an effective means of reinforcing soils. This paper presents data from
laboratory triaxial tests on quartzitic sand reinforced with polypropylene fibres. By keeping …

For fibre-reinforced granular soils, the efficiency of the fibres is governed by the local fibre–
grain interaction mechanism. This local interaction mechanism is evaluated, in this paper, by …

Calcareous sand erosion under natural environment changes or human activities is a major
concern to many coastal zones, where weak and loose calcareous sands are usually …
