Swelling Potential of a Stabilized Expansive Soil: A Comparative Experimental Study (2017, methodology): “There are few studies, however, which have investigated the strength of finegrained soils reinforced with different types of fiber (e.g. Kumar et al. 2006, 2007; Tang et al. 2007; Attom et al. 2009; Estabragh et al. 2012c, 2013a).”
A simple review of soil reinforcement by using natural and synthetic fibers (2012, background): “indicated the effect of polyester fiber inclusion on expansive soil with optimized dose of lime and fly ash [110,112].”
Stabilization of recycled base materials with high carbon fly ash (2010, background): “…ash can be n effective binder for stabilizing soils for highway bases (Consoli t al., 2001; Zaman and Naji, 2003; Arora and Aydilek, 2005; Edil t al., 2006; Kumar et al., 2007; Buhler and Cerato, 2007; Hatipoglu t al., 2008; Saylak et al., 2008; Shao et al., 2008; Wen et al., 2008; amargo, 2008).”
Effect of polypropylene fibres on the compressive and tensile strength of a soft soil, artificially stabilised with binders (2015, background): “This beneficial impact of the BQ on the strength has also been reported by several other researchers, for example Kaniraj and Havanagi (2001), Kumar et al. (2007), Correia (2011) and Olgun (2013).”
Mechanical characteristics of soft clay treated with fibre and cement (2012, background): “Kumar et al. (2007) reported that the ratio of split tensile strength and unconfined compressive strength increases with an increase in fibre content, which shows that polyester fibres are more efficient, when soil was subjected to tension rather than to compression.”
Lime Stabilization of Soils: Reappraisal (2012, positive): “Moreover, increase in lime content beyond a certain limit was found to decrease the strength gain (Hilt and Davidson 1960; Herrin and Mitchell 1961; Bell 1996; Kumar et al. 2007).”
