Abstract
The fiber elements for soil stabilization include a combination of rigid and flexible fibers that are adapted to be added to soil in order to stabilize the soil to improve the geotechnical characteristics thereof. Each fiber element includes a rigid fiber having opposed first and second ends, at least the first end defining a first ring. A plurality of flexible fibers are attached to the first ring. When mixed with soil, the rigid fibers provide stiffness to the soil mass, and the flexible fibers provide deformability. For purposes of packaging, prior to addition to soil, the plurality of flexible fibers may be at least partially secured to one another by a water soluble material, such as a water soluble glue, water soluble thread or the like. A plurality of the fiber elements may be secured to one another by the water soluble material, forming a fiber module.
