This paper reports on the small-strain stiffness (G max) of a well graded crushed rock
reinforced with polypropylene fibres. The experimental study was conducted on twenty-five …

This study focuses on the effects of randomly oriented discrete crimped polypropylene fibres
on the mechanical response of very fine sand. Compaction and direct shear tests were …

In this study, the effect of fibre reinforcement on the small-strain shear modulus (G max) of
sandy soils is investigated. A comprehensive set of 47 specimens composed of different …

The strength anisotropy of fibre-reinforced sands in the multiaxial stress space has been
investigated using a hollow cylinder torsional apparatus. Probing stress paths under …

High-pressure isotropic compression tests were carried out on samples of a uniform fine
sand at different initial specific volumes, reinforced with randomly distributed polypropylene …

The results from a series of laboratory drained standard triaxial tests conducted on sand
specimens reinforced with randomly oriented discrete fibres are presented. The purpose of …

The aim of this research was to study the behaviour of polypropylene-fibre-reinforced sand
under large shear strains. The experimental study consisted of ring shear tests on a sand …

It is a well-identified fact that more elaborate laboratory studies should be carried out for
evaluation of dynamic properties of different types of soils. Regardless of the mechanisms …

An experimental programme was carried out on the shear strength behaviour of sandy and
clayey soils reinforced with short, randomly distributed, polypropylene (PP) microfibres. The …

The contribution of fibers to the strength of fiber-reinforced soils is dependent on multiaxial
stress space. This study furthers knowledge on the dependency of steady states on …
