A simple review of soil reinforcement by using natural and synthetic fibers (2012, background): “75% fiber content, the shear stress reduces with increase in fiber content [56].”
Modification of clayey soils using scrap tire rubber and synthetic fibers (2007, background): “…in the confining pressure due to the development of tension in the fiber, and the moisture content in the fiber favors formation of absorbed water layer on the clay particles, which enables the reinforced soil to act as a single coherent matrix of soil–fiber mass (Prabakar and Sridhar, 2002).”
Mechanical properties and hygroscopicity behavior of compressed earth block filled by date palm fibers (2014, background): “While synthetic fibers are commonly used in soil reinforcement to increase compressive strength and shear strength [23,24].”
Mechanical characteristics of soft clay treated with fibre and cement (2012, background): “Some studies dealing with the reinforcement of uncemented and cemented soils using fibre inclusions have been reported (e.g. Maher and Ho 1993; Omine et al. 1996; Prabakar and Sridhar 2002; Michalowski and Cermak 2003; Cai et al. 2005; Miraftab and Lickfold 2008; Lovisa et al. 2010; Liu et al. 2011)”
Clay-based composite stabilized with natural polymer and fibre (2010, background): “Research works are concentrating on limited varieties of materials [28] like bamboo, jute, and coir”
