<p>A clay soil is reinforced by intimately mixing it with randomly oriented polymer (e.g. polypropylene or polyester) fibres having an average length in the range of 6 to 18 mm; and compacting the resultant mixture. The fibres are preferably monofilaments rather than fibrillated and may be straight or crimped fibres and most preferably have a diameter of about 15 to 60 νm. The fibres are preferably coated with a dispersing agent to prevent them from aggregating whilst being mixed into the soil.</p> |
