Shear strength behaviour of sugarcane bagasse reinforced soils
… and stiffness response due to its inclusion to unreinforced soil. Three different types of bagasse, fibre, millrun and pith, were added to unreinforced soil in percentage by weight content of 0.3 - 1.7. The bagasse was added to Klipheuwel sand, Cape Flats sand and Kaolin Clay at both dry and moist …

Centrifuge modelling of the behaviour of geosynthetic-reinforced soils above voids
Understanding the deformation mechanisms of soils and geosynthetics in response to the formation of a void below a geosynthetic-reinforced soil is crucial to provide efficient designs of geosynthetic-reinforced soil systems such as embankments and landfill liners. Centrifuge modelling of the soil …

Permeability characteristics of fibre-reinforced Perth sandy soil
Fibres are mixed with soils to enhance their strength and hydraulic characteristics. Fibre-mixed soils are often known as the fibre-reinforced soils. In the past, both systematically and randomly reinforced soils have been used widely in civil and geotechnical structures. Randomly reinforced-soils …

The effect of reinforcing soil inclusion on offshore pipeline ploughs
… along the seabed. Three of the most common soils encountered by a plough are sand, silt and clay in which numerous research projects have investigated how these effect plough performance. It is common for the plough to encounter some sort of fibrous or reinforced soils on the seabed. Not …

A Numerical Investigation of the Seismic Response of the Aggregate Pier Foundation System
… 3) Pore pressures are generally lower for soils reinforced with aggregate pier than unreinforced soils except for very strong earthquake, 4) The maximum shear stresses in soil are much smaller for reinforced soils than unreinforced soils. The excess pore water pressure ratio and the shear …

Effect of Bacterial Strain on MICP and its Application for the Erosion Control of Fine Sands
… be used to enhance the erosion performance of soils. This research investigates the influence of the CaCO3 microstructure on the macromechanical erosion response of fine sands by combining instrumental techniques for characterisation, with element-scale flume testing and controlled modelling of …
