- This paper marks a radical change in design philosophy; a roadmap for transition from ‘purely technological’ to ‘holistic and biomimetic’ ground engineering. Conventionally, research and construction of fibre-reinforced soils has relied on well-compacted ground. This ensures optimum steady states, but also yields in neutralisation of self-healing and self-adapting functions of ground – that rely on natural networks of voids. Is a first attempt in reinforcing highly porous silty sands with fibres; Paper offers novel insights into the complex behaviour of this radically re-thought system under cyclic loading and informs nature-inspired design of wind turbine foundations, flood defences and transport embankments.
