“…Furthermore, the use of synthetic fibers, such as polypropylene, polyamide and polyester fibers, in improving the mechanical properties and failure characteristics of soil have been confirmed (Diambra et al 2010;Hataf & Rahimi 2006;Kumar et al 2006;Michalowski & C̆Ermák 2002;Park & Tan 2005;Yetimoglu et al 2005). Mixing soil with high tensile strength fibers results in fiber-reinforced soil with improved engineering properties.…”

“…The inclusion of fibers significantly changes the failure mechanism by preventing the formation of tension cracks 5 . Since 1970s investigators have studied the mechanical behaviour of this kind of soil reinforcement through conducting appropriate tests [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] .…”

Randomly reinforced cohesive soils can be used as construction material in many civil engineering projects. These materials may be subjected to compressive, tensile or flexural stresses in their life. The presence of stabilizing agents or fibers may affect their resistance against various loads. In this work a clay soil was reinforced randomly at four different lengths of fiber ((10, 15, 20 and 25 mm) [0.394, 0.591, 0.788 and 0.985 in]) with fiber inclusions of 0.5 and 1%. Reinforced soil-cement samples were also prepared with 8 and 10% cement and reinforced similar to the soil. Unconfined compressive and tensile strength tests were carried out on the prepared samples. The results show that the compressive strength is increased with fiber length up to about 10 mm (0.394 in). When length of fiber is larger than 10 mm (0.394 in), the compressive strength is still increased but with a slow rate. The results for the reinforced soil-cement samples indicate that for a given fiber and cement content increasing the length of fiber has no significant effect on the strength of the sample.The tensile strength of reinforced soil is increased by increasing the fiber inclusion and length of fiber. For the reinforced soil-cement samples the tensile strength is increased with increasing fiber content, length of fiber, percent of cement and curing time.

“…The majority of currently published literature is about the influence of randomly oriented fibers on the mechanical and dynamic properties of cohesionless soils (Alrefeai 1991;Nataraj and McManis 1997;Alrefeai and Al-Suhaibani 1998;Consoli et al 2003;Yetimoglu and Salbas 2003;Consoli et al 2005;Yetimoglu et al 2005;da Trindade et al 2006;Babu et al 2008;Latha and Murthy 2007;Chauhan et al 2008;Park 2008). However, only a limited number of studies have been carried out on the strength behavior of fiber-reinforced fine grained soils (Maher and Ho 1994;Nataraj and McManis 1997;Cai et al 2006;Ozkul and Baykal 2006;Tang et al 2007).…”

Admixtures and reinforcement materials are frequently used in practice to stabilize coarse and fine grained soils and to improve their engineering properties. However, a limited number of studies have been carried out on fiber-reinforced fine grained soils. In this study, a series of unconfined compression tests, direct shear tests, and California Bearing Ratio tests were carried out to investigate the effect of randomly distributed polypropylene fiber on the strength behavior of a fine grained soil. The content of polypropylene fiber was varied between 0.25 and 1% by total dry weight of the reinforced samples. It was observed that unconfined compression strength, cohesion intercept and California Bearing Ratio increased with the addition of fibers. On the other hand, the results of the tests indicated that shear strength angle was not affected significantly by the fiber reinforcement.
