... 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...

In this research study, in addition to strength improvement, the consolidation behaviour of sheared clays (problematic soils) was also investigated with and without fibre reinforcement. The PPFs were used...

... 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...
