“…Overall, in forestland and sloping farmland, the purple soil has relatively low shear strength. This differs from the results of Bi et al (2006), Chen et al (2007), and Ni et al (2012Ni et al ( , 2013, possibly because the purple soil was thin, there was significant soil erosion, and the OM and clay contents were lower (Zhang et al 2016), factors that lead to lower soil shear strength. In addition, the type of test can affect the values obtained for the shear strength of a particular soil sample (Lin et al 2015;Gu et al 2019).…”

“…Although, CBR decreases with increasing bamboo content, 10% CBR is ensured even at 80% of bamboo content. There are also instances of reinforcing in order to enable the stability of slope [ 81 , 82 ]. Bamboo roots RDFS contributes to increase shear strength and exhibits up to 55% additional peak shear strength with 5% soil-root volume ratio, whereas diameter of roots ranged from 3 to 10 mm [ 81 ].…”

Incorporating sustainable materials into geotechnical applications increases day by day due to the consideration of impacts on healthy geo-environment and future generations. The environmental issues associated with conventional synthetic materials such as cement, plastic-composites, steel and ashes necessitate alternative approaches in geotechnical engineering. Recently, natural fiber materials in place of synthetic material have gained momentum as an emulating soil-reinforcement technique in sustainable geotechnics. However, the natural fibers are innately different from such synthetic material whereas behavior of fiber-reinforced soil is influenced not only by physical-mechanical properties but also by biochemical properties. In the present review, the applicability of natural plant fibers as oriented distributed fiber-reinforced soil (ODFS) and randomly distributed fiber-reinforced soil (RDFS) are extensively discussed and emphasized the inspiration of RDFS based on the emerging trend. Review also attempts to explore the importance of biochemical composition of natural-fibers on the performance in subsoil reinforced conditions. The treatment methods which enhances the behavior and lifetime of fibers, are also presented. While outlining the current potential of fiber reinforcement technology, some key research gaps have been highlighted at their importance. Finally, the review briefly documents the future direction of the fiber reinforcement technology by associating bio-mediated technological line.

“…Endo [25] and Wu et al [26] found that the horizontal and vertical roots of plants could improve the shear strength of soil by laboratory experiments. Ma'Ruf [27] conducted direct shear tests on soil containing plant roots to study the effects of roots of bamboo on the shear strength of soil. Bergado and Bukkanasuta [28] selected bamboo as reinforced material; its reinforcement effect was studied by direct shear tests and pull out tests in laboratory, and the results show that the reinforcement effect of bamboo net is slightly better than that of geogrid.…”

Laboratory triaxial tests were carried out to investigate the reinforcement mechanism, to study the characteristics of flax fiber-reinforced clay, and to discuss the effect on stress-strain relationship and shear strength parameters of flax fiber-reinforced clay in different flax fiber content and different confining pressure. Respectively, the ratio of fiber content to clay by weight is 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, and 1.0%, and the confining pressure is 100 kPa, 200 kPa, and 300 kPa in triaxial test. The test results show that, the shear strength of flax fiber-reinforced clay is greater than that of pure clay. Compared with the pure clay, the shear strength of flax fiber-reinforced clay increased as the cohesion and friction increased; while the increase of the friction is relatively small, the increase of cohesion is large. The shear strength firstly increased and then reduced with the increase of flax fiber content. When the fiber content was 0.8%, the shear strength reached a peak value, and the shear strength reduced with the further increase of fiber content.
