Discrete Element Analysis of the Strength Anisotropy of Fiber-Reinforced Sands Subjected to Direct Shear Load
Soil reinforcement with natural or synthetic fibers enhances its mechanical behavior in various applications. Fiber-reinforced sands (FRS) can be relatively anisotropic because of the fiber self-weight and the compaction technique. However, the microscopic mechanisms underlying the anisotropy are st...
