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 …

This experimental investigation evaluates the compressibility and small strain stiffness of
sand reinforced with discrete synthetic fibers. Varying fiber contents (FC), fiber aspect ratios …

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 …

The study reports on the dynamic behavior of fibre-reinforced sand with a focus on the shear
modulus at very small strains. A set of twenty four specimens composed of a silica quarry …

Small-strain shear modulus, G0, is an important fundamental soil property. Although many
studies have been conducted on this property for clean sands and pure clays, small-strain …

Mechanical and chemical stabilization, as well as the soil reinforcement methods, are
common soil improvement techniques; selecting each depends primarily on the type of …

Carpet waste fibres have a higher volume to weight ratio and once discarded into landfills,
these fibres occupy a larger volume than other materials of similar weight. This research …

The fundamental mechanisms controlling shear strength and deformability behavior of clay-
fiber mixtures have still not been well established, nor the constraints that may affect their …

This study presents results from a series of large-scale simple shear tests performed on
sandy soil reinforced with randomly distributed fibers. The soil was mixed with …

Inspired by plant roots, polypropylene fibers can be employed to improve the shear strength
of soils. Since the previously applied studies focused on the drained and undrained strength …
