Fiber Reinforced Soil

Improvement of the crack resistance of clayey soils by fiber reinforcement was investigated using initially saturated and fiber-reinforced soil specimens subjected to desiccation. An image-processing technique was used to quantitatively describe the effect of fiber addition on the geometrical and morphological characteristics of crack patterns. The results show that the soil desiccation cracking behavior was significantly influenced by fiber inclusion: the crack resistance was significantly improved and the amount of desiccation cracks was significantly reduced by fiber addition. Generally, the surface crack ratio (surface of cracks to total surface), number of clods, average length and width of cracks, and crack network connectivity decreased with increasing fiber content, while the average area of clods, number of nodes per unit area, number of crack segments per unit area, crack density, and specimen integrity increased. During crack propagation, the surface crack ratio increased with decreasing water content and finally reached stabilization. Comparison between the surface crack ratio of the natural soil specimen and that of the fiber-reinforced soil specimen showed that the former was always higher than the latter. The fiber length was found to have an insignificant effect on the soil desiccation cracking behavior.

Concrete barely possesses tensile strength, and it is susceptible to cracking, which leads to a reduction of its service life. Consequently, it is significant to find a complementary material that helps alleviate these drawbacks. The aim of this research was to determine analytically and experimentally the effect of the addition of the steel fibers on the performance of the post-cracking stage on fiber-reinforced concrete, by studying four notch-to-depth ratios of 0, 0.08, 0.16, and 0.33. This was evaluated through 72 bending tests, using plain concrete (control) and fiber-reinforced concrete with volume fibers of 0.25% and 0.50%. Results showed that the specimens with a notch-to-depth ratio up to 0.33 are capable of attaining a hardening behavior. The study concludes that the increase in the dosage leads to an improvement in the residual performance, even though an increase in the notch-to-depth ratio has also occurred.
