“…Utilization of the waste materials for geotechnical materials could convert the waste into a value-added product for soil reinforcement. Experimental results reported by various researchers [8][9][10][11][12] showed that the fiber reinforced soil is a potential composite material which can be advantageously employed in improving the structural behavior of the stabilized and unstabilized soils. Investigations of fiber reinforcement system in a cement-stabilized soil have been done successfully by others [13][14][15][16].…”

Improvement of tensile strength in fiber reinforced soil is an important research topic. A study has been undertaken to investigate the strength of stabilized clay-soil reinforced with randomly distributed discrete plastic waste fibers by carrying out split tensile strength test. In this study, the clay soil was stabilized with lime and rice husk ash mixtures. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of specimen size to the tensile strength behavior. Testing procedure was formulated using extended ASTM C496 standard. The laboratory investigation results showed that split-tensile strength of reinforced specimens increased with increase in size. The limitations of the dataset indicate that specimen size of 70 mm in diameter is the threshold to produce reasonable representative strengths.

Currently, the use of composite materials in the construction areas has had a great impact on the society; mainly, those related with sustainability and environment aspects. Daily proposals aimed at overcoming the properties of traditional materials that arise, which include emergent materials either from waste or recycled products. One of them is related to the textile materials, which include fibers such as wool, hemp, linen, and cotton. In the past decade, special attention has been focused on the used clothes, which represent a source of raw materials environmentally responsible and economically profitable. Textile materials are discarded daily around the world, representing approximately 1.5% of the generated waste. Blue jeans are the most used clothing in the world, and they are elaborated by one of the most commonly used natural textile fiberscotton. Textile materials have been reused in different applications, for example, in the production of poor-quality wires, crushed to manufacture noise and temperature insulation materials, and as fillers or reinforcements of concrete. In this chapter, different topics are described that include: (a) environmental impact of textile waste-a result of massive consumption of clothing, (b) recycling and reuse of textile waste, and (c) waste and recycled textile materials used as building materials.

“…The concept of reusing such industrial waste has therefore attracted substantial attention in recent years by researchers and environmentalists. Potential application of waste fibers as a resource of reinforcing elements has been recently addressed in a few studies (Murray et al 2000;Ghiassian et al 2004 andMirzababaei 2012). Unlike virgin fibers, waste fibers may contain a diverse range of dimensions and include different synthetic/natural materials (i.e.…”

Laboratory scaled model slopes reinforced with waste carpet fibers were made in a rigid tank with dimensions of 800 mm x 300 mm x 500 mm. Bearing capacities of the strip footing rested on non-reinforced and fiber reinforced model slopes with 1 %, 3 % and 5 % fiber content were compared at 20 % footing displacement ratio. The influence of location of footing on the bearing capacity was studied with placing the footing at different edge distances from crest of the footing (i.e., 150 mm, 100 mm and zero). Suction probe sensors were installed at appropriate locations on the rear side of the model slope to measure the pore-water pressure generated due to the footing pressure. Results showed that fiber reinforcement increased the bearing resistance of the model slopes significantly. Inclusion of 5 % fiber increased the bearing resistance by 271 % compared to that of non-reinforced model slope at the footing edge distance ratio of three. The location of footing was found to affect the load carrying capacity of the fiber reinforced model slope. The increase in the edge distance ratio of the footing increased the load carrying capacity of the model slope.
