Abstract:Slope stability is one of the crucial factors to consider in every civil engineering project. One widely used method to stabilize slope is the use of polymeric products called geosynthetics. Natural fiber geosynthetics used for geotechnical applications have attracted attention because of their environmental and economic benefits. Coir fibers made into nonwoven geotextiles are utilized in this study as an alternative material for slope stabilization. One drawback of coir fiber geotextiles is their low tensile … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
