Abstract:12Abstract. The purpose of the paper was to determine two things: the influence of type and amount of reinforcement on shear strength of soil and the relation between the efficiency of reinforcement and soil moisture content. Shear strength was determined in a direct shear apparatus in a box with a square section of 80 × 80 mm. The range of normal stress was from 25 to 150 kPa and the shear velocity was 1.0 mm⋅min -1 . The tests were carried out on medium sand and clayey coarse silt at two moisture contents an… Show more
