Influence of Polypropylene Derivatives on Soil Mechanical Properties

The implementation of natural and artificial fibers as a stabilization technique for construction materials has developed new trends in the last decade generated functionality. This research evaluates derived from polypropylene element soil reinforcement. These have advantage that they do not biodegradation or oxidation processes, which makes it cost-effective environmentally friendly option. are used to reinforce samples silty slope deposit. Specifically, behavior under unconfined compressive stresses penetration CBR test is evaluated. Polypropylene industrial processes were used, bringing them same size using proportion these samples, different percentages fiber with respect weight evaluated identify was optimal experiment. Additionally, process formation controlled maintain close values maximum dry density optimum moisture content. A comparison analysis quantifies contribution proposed. results obtained supported by laboratory tests performed. show reinforced material higher strength, ductility, resistance penetration. It proposed evaluate effect arrangement future research.
