Applications of Fibre-Reinforced Soil
Abstract In the previous chapters , you studied about the basic characteristics of soils and fibres, engineering behaviour of fibre-reinforced soils with or without other admixtures/additives (lime, cement, fly ash, etc.) and reinforcing mechanisms and models. In most applications, the discrete fibres are simply added and mixed randomly with soil or other similar materials (coal ashes, mine tailings, etc.), in much the same way as lime, cement or other additives are used to stabilize and improve the soil. However, some difficulties occur at the construction site in getting a uniform mixture of soil and fibres. In the present-day construction practice, the use of fibres is one of the cost-effective and environmentally friendly ground improvement techniques. This chapter describes the possible field applications of fibre-reinforced soils, focusing on presenting specific application/construction guidelines.
