Abstract Sixteen groups of comprehensive tests have been conducted to investigate the modifications in the physical properties of a weak expansive soil due to the addition of a cement jute fiber. The tests have been conducted to analyze
the liquid plastic limit, the particle distribution and the free expansion rate. The results show that: (1) With an
increase in the cement-jute fiber content, the free expansion rate of the modified expansive soil gradually
decreases, however, such a rate rebounds when the fiber content exceeds 0.5% and the cement content exceeds
6%. (2) With an increase in… More >
