CBR test on reinforced clayey sand
Composite soils have been widely used in civil engineering applications, especially in slopes, embankment dam and landfills. This paper aims to investigate effect of fiber inclusion on CBR values of composite soil (i.e. sand composite). A series of laboratory CBR tests carried out to evaluate fiber...

| description | Composite soils have been widely used in civil engineering applications, especially in slopes, embankment dam and landfills. This paper aims to investigate effect of fiber inclusion on CBR values of composite soil (i.e. sand composite). A series of laboratory CBR tests carried out to evaluate fiber effect on CBR values behavior of composite sand. Clayey sand was selected as soil part of the composite and natural fiber was used as reinforcement. The fiber parameters differed from one test to another, as fiber length were changed from 20 mm to 50 mm and fiber content were varied from 1% and 3%. For each test, CBR values were calculated and compared. The results proved that inclusion of fiber affected CBR values of sand composite so that increasing in fiber content and length caused increasing in CBR. |
