Influence of fibres on properties of cement stabilised sands and clay

摘要

This study was undertaken to investigate the behaviour of essentially sandy soils mixed with polymeric fibres and cement. The results show that there is a reduction in compressive strength and increase in permeability when fibre is added. However, there is a significant improvement when fibres and cement are added to a soil in terms of its flexural strength and ductility. This study also shows that there is a significant reduction in erosion rate with fibres and cement.
