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 …

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 …

The contribution of fibers to the strength of fiber-reinforced soils is very much dependent on
the distribution of orientation of the fibers. The fibers in the direction of largest extension …

Fibre orientation in fibre-reinforced sand (FRS) is highly anisotropic due to compaction
during sample preparation or field construction. This makes the mechanical behaviour of …

Among the plethora of studies on anisotropy in fibre-reinforced sands, there exist conflicting
views on effects on the steady-state deformations of initial packing. These conflicting views …

This study investigates the dependency of steady states on anisotropy in unreinforced
uniform angular silica sands and those reinforced with micro-synthetic fibres. In doing so, the …

Based on hypotheses derived directly from experimental observations of the triaxial
behaviour, a constitutive model for fibre reinforced sands is built in this paper. Both the sand …

Soil reinforcement with natural or synthetic fibers enhances its mechanical behavior in
various applications. Fiber-reinforced sands (FRS) can be relatively anisotropic because of …

This research investigates the behavior of sandreinforced with polypropylene fiber. To do
this, 40 directshear tests and 40 triaxial tests were performed on thecoastal beaches of …

Inclusion of flexible fibers such as polypropylene and polyester is an effective method for soil
improvement, as it significantly enhances the soil strength and ductility. A proper constitutive …
