N2 - Previous studies have shown that the inclusion of randomly distributed fibers significantly increases the shear strength of sands. Triaxial compression tests were used in this study to identify and evaluate sand/fiber parameters that affect strength and failure mechanics. Both sand granulometry, i.e., particle size, shape and gradation, and fiber properties, e.g., modulus; influenced constitutive behavior of sand-fiber composites. In addition to the experimental work, a theoretical model is presented to explain the sand/fiber interaction based on statistical theories of composites.
