The ground is a natural grand system; it is composed of myriad constituents that aggregate
to form several geologic and biogenic systems. These systems operate independently and …

Glass fiber and liquid-modified polyvinyl alcohol polymer (SH Polymer) are used to reinforce
granite residual soil. In this paper, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests and drop …

Carpet waste fibres have a higher volume to weight ratio and once discarded into landfills,
these fibres occupy a larger volume than other materials of similar weight. This research …

The fundamental mechanisms controlling shear strength and deformability behavior of clay-
fiber mixtures have still not been well established, nor the constraints that may affect their …

This study aims to highlight the effect of fibre–clay contact area in a fibre-reinforced clay
matrix with different fibre contents and types. Fibre-reinforced samples were prepared at two …

Each year, an enormous number of tires approach the end of their useful lives, posing
threats to human health and the environment. On the other hand, cement is frequently used …

The engineering community realizes that it is incumbent to identify an alternative soil
disposal or reuse solution owing to the financial and environmental problems associated …

This paper provides results of a comprehensive investigation into the use of waste carpet
fibers for reinforcement of clay soil slopes. The interaction between laboratory scale model …

This study investigated the effect of fibre reinforcement on the large strain behaviour of
compacted clay samples tested using large triaxial test equipment. A novel specimen …

This paper presents the results of shear strength tests of fine-grained soil reinforced by
randomly oriented fibres. The tests were carried out in a direct shear apparatus on samples …
