Strength and mechanical behavior of short polypropylene fiber reinforced and cement stabilized clayey soil
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of discrete short polypropylene fiber (PP-fiber) on the strength and mechanical behavior of uncemented and cemented clayey soil were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple review of soil reinforcement by using natural and synthetic fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the history, benefits, applications, and possible executive problems of using different types of natural and/or synthetic fibers in soil reinforcement through reference to published scientific data are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of clayey soils using scrap tire rubber and synthetic fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the use of waste fiber materials such as scrap tire rubber, polyethylene, and polypropylene fiber for the modification of clayey soils was evaluated and the strength and dynamic behavior of the reinforced soils with randomly included waste fiber material was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fiber reinforcement effects on sand considering a wide cementation range
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe laboratory drained standard triaxial tests conducted on artificially cemented Osorio sand specimens reinforced with randomly oriented discrete extensible polypropylene fibers, showing that fiber reinforcement increases peak strength, increases ultimate strength, decreases stiffness and changes the cemented sand brittle behavior to a more ductile one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibre reinforced sands: Experiments and modelling
TL;DR: In this article, a model for coupling the effects of fibres with the stress-strain behavior of unreinforced soil is proposed for coupling a fiber stiffness matrix with the tensile strain.
