[10] mentioned that the longer fiber was found to be more pronounced in increasing the energy absorption or toughness of the
cemented soil.
Some southern home owners have removed wallpaper to find large patches of wallboard and framing replaced with a vast span of
cemented soil and feces, known as carton, housing many thousands of squirming, milk-colored termites.
"Basically, caliche is a
cemented soil that is harder than most rock," Smith said.

cemented soil," Geotechnical Testing Journal, vol.
It was presumably due to the lack of friction mobilization between the fiber and the
cemented soil matrix, which is probably related to the smooth nature of fibers.
Figure 18 is the schematic diagram of the fiber- and steel-reinforced
cemented soil column, which includes the fiber-reinforced
cemented soil column and the steel cage [18].
They believed that larger EPS bead content generated more weak interfaces between EPS beads and
cemented soil [19].
