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 …

The use of natural materials in place of synthetic materials has been the focus of research in
sustainable geotechnics. In this context, use of natural plants/weeds as randomly distributed …

Reinforced earth is a composite material, a combination of soil and reinforcement duly
placed to bear the tensile stresses developed and also to improve the resistance of soil in …

This paper presents the results of the evaluation of the reinforcing effect of randomly
oriented sisal fibre on some geotechnical properties of lateritic soil. The sisal fibre was …

The inflation in the value of land and the limited availability of sites for construction is greatly
encouraging engineers to consider in situ soil improvement of loose and weak/expansive …

Expansive soil is regarded as a kind of problematic soil that has a low bearing capacity and
excessive volume change (shrinkage or swelling) under climate change or changes of …

Stabilisation is a process that is often used to enhance the engineering features that soft
soils (clay soils or cohesive soils) typically display. These attributes include low strength …
