... of black cotton soil. However, fibre reinforcement has the distinct advantages over the other methods. The objective was to study the effect of coconut coir and polypropylene fibres on the bearing capacity of black cotton soil, and to find the optimum dose. Thirty-four unconfined compressive strength tests...

...Ghida Alhakim; Lina Jaber Introducing a novel approach in the field of ground improvement, this study explores the reinforcement of sandy soil using a combination of natural and synthetic fibres. The research investigates the behaviour of sandy soil reinforced using polypropylene (PP...

... been made to address these issues using polypropylene fibres (PPFs) as a sustainable modifier. These fibres were used in five different proportions, namely 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 and 1.25% as partial replacement of base soil to analyse their impact on the engineering behaviour of matrices. Classification...
