• Laboratory evaluation on the effectiveness of polypropylene fibers on the strength of fiber-reinforced and cement-stabilized Shanghai soft clay (2015, background): “Utilizing tensile elements, such as fibers and fiber bundles to improve the tensile strength and the flexural strength, has the advantage of improving the strength and durability of improved soil and will furthermore be effective because of its strength isotropy, absence of potential failure plane, ”
• Textile waste as an alternative thermal insulation building material solution (2013, background): “Research has been developed to study the potential application of natural material as thermal insulation [11– 15] and of industrial and agricultural solid waste as a raw material to obtain lightweight bricks [16] or as concrete and soil reinforcement [17,18].”
• Mechanical properties and hygroscopicity behavior of compressed earth block filled by date palm fibers (2014, background): “The use of local natural fibers is more beneficial for the population as fibers are locally available in abundance, economical benefits, low energy consumption and allows the reduction of environmental impacts [4–12].”
• Effect of freeze–thaw cycles on unconfined compressive strength of fine-grained soil treated with jute fiber, steel fiber and lime (2014, background): “It is reported that jute as an environmental-friendly fiber could be used for soil stabilization in pavement engineering (Hejazi et al., 2012).”
