Abstract: This paper briefly introduces the basics of fiber reinforced soils, working mechanism and the mechanical characterization of reinforced soil mass. The properties of the fiber reinforced expansive soils, the failure modes and the factors affecting the reinforcement are also presented in the paper throughout the state of the art research results. The application of the fiber reinforced embankment soil is introduced through a case history.

Key words: fiber reinforced soils, embankment engineering, failure mode
