In recent years, many researchers have evaluated the sustainable use of waste tire rubber as an aggregate in soil. Its effectiveness has been widely acknowledged. The main objective of this work is to study the influence of rubber fibers on shear strength and pore structure characteristics in relation to expansive soil. In this context, we conducted a series of experiments that were carried out on reinforced expansive soil with rubber fiber contents of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%. The results show that the shear strength and maximum dilatation angle increase gradually with rubber fiber content. Due to the pore water pressure and creep effects, the deviator stress and effective cohesion of the samples under the consolidated drained conditions were higher than those under the undrained conditions. The converse was true for the internal angle. The addition of an appropriate amount of (5–10%) rubber fiber can effectively inhibit the development of soil cracks and reduce the porosity of the samples. The results obtained can highlight the beneficial effects of rubber fiber, which is highly desirable in many backfill applications. |
