Use of Sand–Coir Fiber Composite Columns in Stabilization of Soft Clay Deposits

摘要: Coir, the processed fiber from husk of coconuts, is reputed to be strongest and most durable natural material abundantly available at low cost in many Asian countries. A few studies have been conducted past examine potential coir as a random reinforcing material. This paper reports degree improvement obtained by using sand–coir composite form columnar reinforcement plate load tests on soft clay beds. Influence area well configuration columns pressure versus settlement behavior identified isolated. The study indicates that strength sufficient enough eliminate need for deep foundation achievable through use proposed technique. provision four identical just inside corners loaded optimum far soil concerned. also discusses mechanism possibility exp...
