Abstract:

Laboratory and field results are presented indicating that discrete, fibrillated fibers mixed with chemically stabilized sand or clay soils improve the life of those materials in pavement layers. The improvement can be seen in axial compression stress-strain curves as an increase in both modulus and strength. In some cases, the fibers appear to alter the material response by moving from a strain softening response toward a response analogous to strain hardening.
