A study on strength and deformation behaviour of glass fibre reinforced clayey and sandy soils under varying moulded states

Abstract

Field applications of fibre reinforced soil are still lagging behind the traditional planer reinforcement method There is ample scope to increase field applications of fibre reinforcement with both clayey and sandy soils In the present study the strength and deformation behaviour of two soil types a clayey soil and a sandy soil reinforced with glass fibres were studied through a systematic series of laboratory tests Glass fibres of 0 15 mm diameter and of different lengths 10 20 and 30
