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

Triaxial compression tests were conducted to evaluate the response of randomly distributed
fibre on the strength of reinforced silty sand. In this study, oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) …

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 addition of cementitious admixtures and/or inclusion of fibers are frequently used in
practice to stabilize soils and to improve their mechanical properties. In this study, ring shear …

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 …

Stress-deformation behaviour of sand reinforced with discrete randomly distributed fibres
depends on the properties of the fibres and sand-fibre surface friction. This paper presents …

Seven reconstituted sands of different mineralogies and different particle size distributions,
from uniform to well-graded and coarse to fine, were tested under one-dimensional …

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 …

A study was undertaken to investigate the shear strength of sands reinforced with randomly
distributed discrete fibers by carrying out direct shear tests. The effect of the fiber …

The inclusion of oriented or randomly distributed discrete elements, such as fibers, to
reinforce soil has recently attracted increasing attention in geotechnical engineering. The …
