Experimental Investigation of Shear strength and Permeability of River sand Reinforced with Rice Straw Fiber

civil engineering

Several researchers have developed Sand reinforcement methods in order to enhance engineering properties and their Index properties of Sand over the last few decades. This paper describes an experiment that looked at how adding randomly focused Rice Straw to an alluvial fine to medium sand in a loose state affected its behavior. The effect of fiber inclusion on the shear strength and permeability of reinforced sand is investigated at low, medium, and high strain levels. A soil layer mass that includes randomly distributed discrete components, i.e. fibers, can be described as a principle of reinforced soil with their fiber., i.e. fibers (Rice Straw fiber), that contribute to the improvement of the soil matrix's engineering properties and mechanical behavior Permeability and direct shear test conduction with improved fiber (Rice Straw fiber) percentages of 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.%. Comparison of findings from river sand and fiber addition. The use of fiber inclusions to improve the mechanical properties of weak sands is a geotechnical engineering technique that has recently gained popularity.
