Abstract Discrete randomly distributed fibers are commonly used to improve the engineering characteristics of soil and thus properties such as shear strength, compressibility, density, hydraulic conductivity. Most studies have so far focused on describing behavior soils containing under dried or saturated conditions. However, water table may seasonally fluctuate, generating unsaturated Therefor...

The paper presents experimental results from unconfined compression and splitting tensile tests used in combination order to estimate the cohesion intercept of unsaturated soils. Samples different soils form slurry were subjected various suction values using axis translation technique a pressure plate extractor then these samples removed tests. Mohr’ circles for two loading conditions drawn tan...
