“…A number of research studies on fiber-reinforced soils have recently been carried out through triaxial tests, unconfined compression tests, CBR tests, direct shear tests, and tensile and flexural strength tests (Freitag, 1986;Maher and Gray, 1990;Al-Refeai, 1991;Fatani et al, 1991;Maher and Ho, 1994;Ranjan et al, 1996;Nataraj and McManis, 1997;Consoli et al, 1998Consoli et al, , 2002Consoli et al, , 2005Santoni et al, 2001;Kumar et al, 2005;Casagrande et al, 2006Casagrande et al, , 2007aCasagrande et al, , 2007bKim et al, 2008;Park, 2008;Bera et al, 2009;Fatahi et al, 2012;Divya et al, 2014;Li et al, 2014;Anggraini et al, 2014;Botero et al, 2015). One of the primary advantages of randomly distributed fibers is the absence of potential planes of weakness that can develop parallel to oriented reinforcement (Maher and Gray, 1990).…”
