... that by increasing the fibre content, the optimum moisture content increased, while the maximum dry unit weight and brittleness of the soil reduced. The variations in compaction characteristics and brittleness were mostly affected by the fibre content rather than its type. Hybrid fibre-reinforced specimens exhibited...

... behaviour. Kaniraj and Havanagi (2001) studied the effect of cement and erratically distributed fibres on the geotechnical properties of cemented and raw soil–fly-ash samples. They concluded that the fibre reinforcement not only increased shear strength in both cases but also shifted the material behaviour...

... strength, cracking resistance and water-retention properties of fibre-reinforced fine-grained soils lack coverage in the literature to date. In this study, these three properties are evaluated and connected by way of a series of tensile strength and desiccation cracking tests on fibre-reinforced London...
