Abstract

Soil reinforcement with cement results in improvement of compressive and shear strengths, but adding the cement to soil causes more brittle behavior of soil. Fibers are used to solve this problem. The mechanical behavior of cemented granular soils is between soil and rock materials. Constitutive models for these materials should have the simulation capability of their special specifications. Up to now, different constitutive models for cemented soils have been presented. However, regarding the soil constitutive models with capability of considering the effects of cement and fiber, no study has been done. Constitutive models with capability of considering the effects of cement and fiber can be applied in geotechnical softwares to evaluate the correct behavior of such materials. However, representing a constitutive model for predicting the behavior of fiber-reinforced cemented soils is an effective step in geotechnical analysis.
