A Study on the Strength Behavior of Stabilized Clayey Sands Using Lime-Polyamide Fiber
and Dept. of Civil Engineering, the University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran | |
ABSTRACT |
This paper focuses on experimental investigations for strength improvement of clayey sands obtained from northern Iran and reinforced with lime-polyamide fiber. In this method, Polyamide 66 strips were placed between compacted layers. The results of reinforced and unreinforced samples are compared with several lime-stabilized soils among the middle-east countries. The comparison shows the superiority of this new composite in improving the strength.
