Triaxial test on saturated sands reinforced with coir products
Coir products are proficient for low-cost applications, especially in developing countries because of its availability at low prices compared to its synthetic counterparts. They also render the advantages of eco-friendliness and biodegradability. Even though various natural products are being tried as a reinforcement material, coir gives better performance due to its high tensile strength, stiffness and durability. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of coir products in reinforcing sand. A systematic series of consolidated drained and undrained triaxial tests have been conducted to study the stress–strain behaviour, pore water pressure characteristics and volumetric response of sands reinforced with various coir products (i.e. discrete, planar and geocell). The results of the study showed an increase in strength and stiffness characteristics and a reduction in dilation characteristics of sand with the provision of coir reinforcement. However, pore water pressure response increased slightly compared to the unreinforced sand. Among the various reinforcement products, the geocell form gives efficient performance compared to others.
