Soil reinforcement is defined as a technique to improve the engineering characteristics of
soil. In this way, using natural fibers to reinforce soil is an old and ancient idea …

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 …

The application of recycled materials for soil improvement is advantageous from the
viewpoint of lowering construction costs, preventing depletion of natural resources, and …

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 …

Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is one of the environmentally friendly ways to
improve engineering properties of sandy soil. A laboratory study was conducted to …

The geotechnical shortcomings observed in infrastructure projects, mainly arising from the
inadequate mechanical properties of weak soils, pose significant challenges that can lead to …

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 study aims to develop a dosage methodology based on tensile and compressive
strength for artificially cemented fibre reinforced soils considering filament length. The …

Soil reinforcement with fibers is a simple, efficient and low-cost (especially by incorporating
waste or recycled fibers) technique for enhancing mechanical characteristics of soft soils …

Due to the wide existence of shear stress in the mine backfill materials, the shear behavior of
polypropylene fiber reinforced cemented paste backfill (FR-CPB) plays a crucial role in the …
