California Bearing Ratio improvement and freeze–thaw performance of fine-grained soils treated with geofiber and synthetic fluid

Effects of freeze–thaw cycles on a fiber reinforced fine grained soil in relation to geotechnical parameters

“…The silica fume decreases the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on unconfined compressive strength and permeability. Hazirbaba and Gullu (2010) performed CBR tests to investigate the influence of freeze-thaw conditions and also no freeze-thaw conditions on fine-grained soil samples which were treated with the inclusion of geofiber and synthetic fluid in soaked and unsoaked conditions. The results…”

Evaluation of Marble Dust for Soil Stabilization

“…Lime, cement and bitumen are commonly used additives for stabilization of expansive soils [1][2][3]. Recently, different additive materials such as fly ash, rice husk ash, silica fume, ladle furnace slag and geo fibers are used to improve some geotechnical properties of poor soils [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Besides these additives, industrial wastes such as olive oil wastes [11] and basalt fibers [12] are also used for remediation of soils.…”

Evaluation of geofibers and nontraditional liquid additives on erodible slopes in Interior Alaska

“…Once vegetation is established, plant roots can help to hold the soil together which prevents erosion and reduce thermal disturbance for potential permafrost degradation. Preliminary studies on geofibers and nontraditional liquid additives for to stabilizing non-cohesive soils as base course materials show positive impact of these materials (Hazirbaba and Gullu, 2010;Collins, 2011). A direct question is therefore as follows: when the same treatments are used in the embankment construction, will the side-slope experience significant soil erosion?…”
