What is Shear Strength of Fiber-Reinforced Sand about?

This study investigated the shear strength of sands reinforced with randomly distributed discrete polypropylene fibers through a series of direct shear tests. The tests found that: 1) The peak shear strength and initial stiffness of the sand were not significantly affected by fiber reinforcement contents from 0.1-1.0%. 2) The horizontal displacements at failure were comparable for reinforced and unreinforced sands under the same normal stress. 3) Fiber reinforcements reduced soil brittleness and provi
