Soil reinforcement is defined as a technique to improve the engineering characteristics of
soil. In this way, using natural fibers to reinforce soil is an old and ancient idea …

Based on an extensive list of research work, expansive soil is renowned for its swelling-
shrinkage property. Despite the wealth of research, the strength characteristics of expansive …

Coupling method of fiber reinforcement and microbial induced carbonate precipitation
(MICP) stabilization was adopted to improve the tensile behaviors of calcareous sand. Three …

Expansive clays swell in presence of the water and shrink in its absence, thereby producing
desiccation cracks which significantly alter its mechanical and hydraulic performance. In this …
