Effects of Reinforcing Elements in Soil Reinforcement
Abstract: The inclusion of reinforcing elements in a soil mass improves its geotechnical properties. The principle behind soil reinforcement is that the reinforcing elements absorb the tensile load and shear stress within the reinforced structures and hence prevent the shear failure and settlement. The friction developed between the interface of soil and reinforcing element improves the properties of soil. Different types of natural and synthetic fibers have been used in various …
