Introduction: Embankments are constructed in many places for transportation purposes such as railways and roads. The stability of slopes in embankments has always been a concern, especially in cohesionless soils. There are many methods to increase the safety factor of cohesionless soil slopes using geogrids, geocells, concrete piles, and so on. The...

... the failure, the friction between the soil mass and the upper part of the bamboo pile comes into effect, which is referred to here as the frictional resistance of the bamboo (τ b ). The free-body diagram of the bamboo pile, the mth, and the kth soil slices are shown in Figure 3. The mth slice is the general slice not in contact with the bamboo, and the kth slice is the slice adjacent to the bamboo. ...

In open environment applications, fibers are increasingly being used that are expected to biodegrade in the soil after their desired service life. Biodegradable polymer fibers are a versatile alternative to natural fibers. In this study, the degradation behavior of fibers made from polylactic acid (PLA) and a polyhydroxy alkanoate (PHA) blend with...
Fibrovascular bundle (FVB) of Salacca sumatrana fronds is a natural fiber derived from palm plants. The fiber typically had long dimensions and the potential to be used as raw material for oriented boards. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the properties of oriented boards made from alkaline-modified FVB of Salacca sumatrana frond. FVB was mo...
Nonwovens (NWs) are delicate, permeable, and come in various fiber ratios, yet
they can also withstand mechanical distortion. Fiber preparation procedures and
web-forming techniques are used to prepare and process fibers, which might be
natural or synthetic. The polymer is sometimes utilized to create fibers in situ, and
then the fibers are put int...
There is a pressing need to repair or upgrade the building and

Totora is a fast-growing plant with a production potential of up to 58 t of dry mass/ha/year. However, totora has an underappreciated industrial potential. Currently, it is mainly used by indigenous people and occasionally by designers for various design works. If totora is to be used more industrially, we need to thoroughly investigate its propert...

The increased frequency of landslides and associated devastations necessitates developing sustainable mitigation measures. The present paper aims to appraise the research developments in enhancing slope stability using anti-slide piles for landslide mitigation. The previous researchers made an immense effort to identify the soil–structure interaction of the anti-slide pile. The soil arching between the piles was identified as the soil–pile interaction mechanism. A detailed review of the soil arching between the piles is performed, and the observations are presented in detail. Recently, different sustainable methods for the analysis and design of anti-slide piles have been developed. An attempt was made to carry out a comprehensive review of the analysis methods and their critical features, and the observations are provided. The parameters affecting the performance of the anti-slide piles were identified, and the influence of those parameters on the behavior of piles is also discussed. Finally, the novel designs developed by researchers to overcome the limitations of conventional anti-slide piles and the utilization of sustainable materials as anti-slide piles were appreciated. The authors like to highlight that anti-slide piles are an effective solution for landslide risk reduction, and there is further scope for research in this field.
