As a versatile and multipurpose plant, hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) possesses immense
potential for its application in nutraceuticals, food and nutrition, fibre, and construction …

Increasing environmental concerns and depleting non–renewable resources have prompted
many researchers to evaluate the effectiveness of eco-friendly materials, such as …

This paper studies the effect of lime and discrete plastic fibre on the strength and stiffness
behaviour of clayey soil. A series of unconfined compressive strength (UCS), split-tensile …

Fiber-reinforced soils have been increasingly used in geotechnical engineering. Over the
years, research has sought to understand and investigate the influences of fibers as …

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 …

Rammed earth construction is an ancient technique using local soils that are compacted to
form structural elements. This method has attracted renewed interest throughout the world …

The purpose of this study was to understand the dynamic behaviors of lignin-amended
loess. Dynamic properties tests of lignin-amended loess with different contents and strength …

To research the unconsolidated undrained shear strength and deformation properties of
saturated cotton fiber reinforced soil, the shear strength of saturated fiber reinforced soil is …

A drive is currently underway in the construction industry to promote the use of in situ soils
(including clays) that are reinforced with natural fibers. This effort is primarily driven by …

In this paper, the strength, ductility and microstructure behavior of cement-treated silt with
polypropylene fiber was studied by a host of experimental studies. The influence of fiber …
