Shear strength improvement of foundation soil by using polymer fiber reinforcement
One major problem related to construction on foundation soil is the low shear strength of soil. However previous researcher have shown that The shear strength could increase significantly upon consolidation and hence some improvement methods have been developed to increase the bearing capacity of th...
