Conventional triaxial compression tests were conducted to determine the effect of cement
and polypropylene fiber reinforcement on sand. The cement content was 3%(dry wt.) of the …

Since the concept of sustainable development enjoys popular support in the 21st century,
various kinds of unconventional materials were introduced for soil improvement in the past …

The current study investigated the effects of cement and Kenaf fiber (KF) on sandy soil, in
terms of cement content and KF content and length as the assessment values. For this …

In this research, a series of laboratory tests have been performed to investigate the effects of
cement and polypropylene (PP) fiber on the triaxial behavior of sand. The cement contents …

Numerical modeling of crushable granular materials is a challenging but important topic
across many disciplines of science and engineering. Commonly adopted modeling …

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 …

Plant roots are known to provide mechanical reinforcement to soils upon shearing and
seismic loading. However, the effects of different stress paths on root reinforcement remain …

The shear strength of rooted soils depends on the principal stress direction owing to the
anisotropy in the soil structure and root system. Existing failure criteria cannot describe the …

Whether the so-called double porosity in soils with a loose and natural packing state is a
concept with real-world implications is a fundamental yet controversial question in the study …

Interests in the use of natural fibers as soil reinforcement are develo** rapidly due to their
cost effectiveness, high availability, and eco-friendliness. Many published studies …
