Abstract: Recycling waste materials, such as steel furnace slag (SFS), coal wash (CW), and rubber crumbs (RC) for transport infrastructure is environmentally friendly and offers significant economic benefits. This paper presents a ...

Abstract: High-pressure isotropic compression tests were carried out on samples of a uniform fine sand at different initial specific volumes, reinforced with randomly distributed polypropylene fibers (0.5% by weight, 24 mm in length ...

Abstract: Previous studies of fiber soil reinforcement have shown significant improvement of the mechanical properties of soils, such as increased peak and postpeak strength, ductility, and tenacity. However, studies of such materials ...

Abstract: The behavior of a polypropylene fiber-reinforced bentonite was evaluated at large shear displacements by a series of ring shear tests carried out at normal stresses varying between 20 and

Abstract: High-pressure isotropic compression tests were carried out on reconstituted sand samples that were reinforced with cement, randomly distributed fibers, or both, making comparisons with the unreinforced sand and conducting ...

Abstract: The addition of cement is an interesting remediation technique when the project requires improvement of the local soil for the construction of pavement base layers, in slope protection of earth dams and canal linings, as ...

Abstract: The results of drained triaxial tests on fiber reinforced and nonreinforced sand (Osorio sand) specimens are presented in this work, considering effective stresses varying from 20 to
