One of the causes of heavy damage due to earthquake motions is the role of soft clay in amplifying bedrock ground motions. Improving the soil conditions using polypropylene fibres at a site in order to mitigate earthquake damage could be one of the methods to modify site conditions. In this study, the optimum fibre contents were obtained for mixtures of clay with two different types of fibre. Then the dynamic properties of polypropylene fibre reinforced clay with different fibre contents were…
