Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffect of Polypropylene Fibers on the California Bearing Ratio of Air Cured Stabilized Tropical Peat SoilBehzad Kalantari, Bujang B.K. Huat, Arun PrasadProblem statement: Peat soil is well known to deform and fail under a light surcharge load and is characterized with low shear strength, high compressibility and high water content. With the rising demand from the construction industry, utilization of these soils is required and suitable technique needs to be found out for stabilizing them. Approach: Model study had been carried … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,704 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Cement Chemistry on the Performance of Cement Stabilized Tropical Lateritic SoilOdumade Adegboyega Oduniyi, Ezeah Chukwunonye, Charles Nnamdi Ezugwu, Ekeoma EmmanuelChemical composition affects overall performance of cement on other materials such as when used in concrete or for stabilization of lateritic soil. This research studied the influence of chemical composition of three Portland cement types represented as samples A, B and C on engineering performance when mixed with laterite under tropical environmental conditions.The Lateritic soil sample classified according to AASHTO … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 May 2018 · 8,807 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Strength Development in Stabilized Soil with CBR Plus and Silica SandSeyedesmaeil Mousavi, Aliakbar KaramvandThis paper investigates the potential use of a nano polymer stabilizer, namely CBR PLUS for stabilization of soft clay and formulation of an optimal mix design of stabilized soil with CBR PLUS and silica sand. The highway settlements induced by the soft clay are problematic due to serious damages in the form of cracks and deformation. With respect to this, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,895 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrength and Ductility of Randomly Distributed Palm Fibers Reinforced Silty-Sand SoilsS.M. Marandi, M.H. Bagheripour, R. Rahgozar, H. ZareThis paper investigates the resultant strength and ductility behavior when randomly distributed palm fibers are used to reinforce silty-sand soils. The composite soils were tested under laboratory conditions and examined for unconfined compression strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and compaction test. The results indicated that; the maximum and residual strengths, orientation of surface failures, ductility and the stress-strain relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,864 accessesView PDF Cite
