Banana Fibre-Reinforcement of a Soil Stabilized with Sodium Silicate

Banana Fibre-Reinforcement of a Soil Stabilized with Sodium Silicate

Many unsuitable soils for construction purposes can be made suitable by using unconventional soil stabilizers. This study investigates the effects of banana fibre-reinforcement of a soil stabilized with sodium silicate on the geotechnical properties of the composite. It involved the application of 1% sodium silicate with varying proportion (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5%) of banana fibre to a...
