Use of homopolymer polypropylene fiber for improving engineering characteristics of cement-stabilized soft clay

Soft clay is a problematic soil that exhibits low bearing capacity and excessive settlement under loading. Chemical stabilization by the addition of lime or cement is commonly used to improve the geotechnical properties of soft clay. Whilst the lime-cement treatment enhances the compressibility and...
