Performance of Sisal Fabre as Natural Geotextile to Reinforce Soil Layers on Unpaved Road. by Kyomugasho, Lilian

“…The main objective was to investigate the performance of sisal fibre as a natural geotextile to reinforce the soil layers on unpaved roads so that we solve the problem of developing potholes, rutting, corrugation, weak subgrade resulting into mud formation, poor drainage system, non-uniform narrow width, stoniness, and environmental pollution from dust during dry seasons, rapid gravel loss, and these all together have increased regular maintenance costs. …”
