TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a numerical study on the behavior of active earth pressures behind a rigid retaining wall with limited backfill space of various geometries, and show that the active earth pressure for a wall built with a limited backfilled space is considerably less than that of the Coulomb solution, and the location of the resulting active earth forces is noticeably higher than one-third of the wall height.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fiber on the consolidation and shear strength behavior of a clay soil reinforced with nylon fibers were investigated and the results showed that the preconsolidation pressure decreases and the coefficient of swelling and compression generally increase with increasing the fiber content.
Abstract: Soft soils are well known for their low strength and high compressibility Several techniques, including reinforcement, are commonly used to increase the strength and decrease the deformation of this kind of soil This paper presents the results of an investigation into the effects of fiber on the consolidation and shear strength behavior of a clay soil reinforced with nylon fibers A series of one dimensional consolidation and triaxial tests were conducted on samples of unreinforced and reinforced clay with different percentages of randomly distributed nylon fibers The results show that the preconsolidation pressure decreases and the coefficient of swelling and compression generally increase with increasing the fiber content Furthermore, the addition of the fiber leads to a significant increase in shear strength and friction angle of the natural soil
