- A new sustainable technique utilising waste carpet fibres to improve the strength and stability of cohesive slopes has been developed and evaluated. The experimental results on model slopes demonstrated the viability of reusing waste carpet fibres to enhance the stability of slopes as it resulted in a significant reduction on the overall slope deformation and the potential risk of failure under loadings. The paper provided experimental evidence on potential reuse of waste fibres on geotechnical applications. The paper findings have been highly cited and promote the recycling of fibre from waste materials for sustainable development and reducing the carbon footprint.
