Traditional soil additives like Portland cement and lime are prone to cause the brittle fracture
behavior of soil, and possibly, environmental impacts. This study explores the potential use …

One major problem related to sandy soil is its low shear strength and cohesion in
engineering. Although much effort has been made to strengthen sand mass with satisfactory …

As renewable and environment-friendly materials, coir and sisal natural fibers can be used
in soil reinforcement with minimum cost and other benefits. In this study, we focused on their …

Due to the loose packing of natural sand, great efforts have been intended to achieve its
stabilization and prevent associated engineering failures. As a new soil reinforcement …

Natural sand has a loose and porous structure with low strength, and is prone to many
geoengineering problems that cause huge losses. In this study, an organic polymer-polymer …

Physical and chemical reinforcements are commonly used to improve sand properties for
engineering requirements. Many researchers have concluded that composite reinforcement …

The compressibility and rebound properties of sand reinforced with polymer and fibers were
studied with respect to polymer content, dry density, and types and content of fibers using …

Natural sisal fiber is an environment-friendly and efficient material for soil reinforcement.
Many studies have reported that the shear strength of soil has been improved by the …

The mixed soil stabilizer of polyurethane organic polymer and polypropylene fiber was used
to reinforce sand. The unconfined compressive test and direct shear test were carried out to …

A considerable number of engineering hazards are caused by loose internal structure of
sands. Thus, many researchers have explored a variety of reinforcement methods. A new …
