A simple review of soil reinforcement by using natural and synthetic fibers (2012, background): “The efficacy of combination of fly ash and PP fibers in reducing swelling and shrinkage characteristics has been also reported [89,100,101].”
Response surface methodology for optimization of stabilizer dosage rates of marginal sand stabilized with Sludge Ash and fiber based on UCS performances (2016, background): “…of strength, ductility, shrinkage and material degradation chemically and biologically (Khattak and Alrashidi, 2006; Tang et al., 2007; Musenda, 1999; Puppala and Musenda, 2000; Santoni et al., 2001; Yetimo lu and Salba , 2003; Yetimo lu et al., 2005; Vasudev, 2007; Viswanadham et al., 2009).”
Modification of clayey soils using scrap tire rubber and synthetic fibers (2007, methodology): “Therefore, new methods are still being researched to increase the strength properties and to reduce the swell behaviors of expansive soils (Puppala and Musenda, 2002).”
Swelling Potential of a Stabilized Expansive Soil: A Comparative Experimental Study (2017, background): “…assessed the efficiency of various types of fiber or fiber-like materials (e.g. shredded tire waste) in controlling the effect of swelling (e.g. Puppala and Musenda 2000; Cai et al. 2006; Punthutaecha et al. 2006; Al-Akhras et al. 2008; Viswanadham et al. 2009; Trouzine et al. 2012;…”
