Shear strength of alluvial soils reinforced with PP fibers

Alluvial soils can be defined as sediments that have not completed their geological formation have high void ratios, low bearing capacity, and low shear strength. To eliminate the unfavorable properties, various improvement methods can be applied, such as injection, compaction, and mixing. Polypropylene fibers, a kind of geosynthetic, are used to improve the geotechnical properties of soil. In this study, the shear strength characteristics of...
