Stabilization of sand using energy efficient materials under normal and extreme hot weathers

This study employs the byproducts of petroleum hydrocarbons, available in abundance locally, such as polymer and polypropylene (PP) fibers and natural hemp fibers obtained from the discarded ropes for the stabilization of sand. The test parameters included polymer content, fiber type, fiber percentage, and weather temperature. The polymer percentages used for the stabilization of sand were: 1.5%, 1.75%, 2.00%, and 2.25% by weight of sand. The...
