Dry-wet cycle induced loess spalling and collapse frequently occurs in the Loess Plateau,
which is an influential trigger for the instability of infrastructure. In order to evaluate the …

A uniaxial strain-softening constitutive model for fiber-reinforced soils is developed based on
the disturbed state concept (DSC). The response in the relatively intact state is assumed to …

Waste iron tailings with cement-based inorganic binder is an economical and sustainable
highway engineering base material, which is an effective way to reduce iron tailings …

Modeling approaches to fully capture the behavior of fiber-reinforced clay remain lacking,
although the beneficial role of discrete short fibers in reinforcing soils is an established …

For fibre-reinforced granular soils, the efficiency of the fibres is governed by the local fibre–
grain interaction mechanism. This local interaction mechanism is evaluated, in this paper, by …

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 …

Carpet waste fibres have a higher volume to weight ratio and once discarded into landfills,
these fibres occupy a larger volume than other materials of similar weight. This research …

The interfacial properties of fibers and matrix materials have an important effect on the
mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced materials. To study the role of fiber morphology …

Conventional numerical analysis methods for fiber-reinforced soils involve either
cumbersome procedure or neglect of evolving fiber–soil interaction. In this paper, a new …

The addition of flexible fibres to granular, cohesionless soils, has a marked influence on the
stress: strain and volumetric response. Experimental observations provide inspiration for the …
