Experimental Study on Shear Resistance of Carex-Root-Fibered Soil by Feng-Chi Wang, Ming-Ze Zhao, Qi Sun

“…Furthermore, the cohesion and internal friction angle were used to evaluate the shear strength of the root-fibered soil based on Mohr–Coulomb’s law. The results showed that the smaller the diameter, the shorter the length, and the greater the quantity and the lower the humidity of the root fibers, the higher the tensile strength of root fibers. …”
