Recycled fiber reinforced soil

Fiber-Reinforced Soil Studies reported in the literature have shown that fiber reinforcement can improve the properties of soil, including the shear strength, compressive strength, bearing capacity, postpeak load strength retention, and the elastic modulus. Recycled-fiber-reinforced soil was studied by laboratory... [Pg.716]

Many carpet manufacturers, fiber and chemical suppliers, recycling companies, and academic institutions are actively pursuing various methods to recycle fibrous waste. The approaches include chemical processes to depolymerize nylon and other polymers, recovery of plastic resins from carpet fibers, direct extrusion of mixed carpet waste, composites as wood substitutes, fibers for concrete and soil reinforcement, waste-to-energy conversion, and carpet as feedstock for cement kilns.
