Photograph courtesy of US Army Corps of Engineers</figcaption></figure></p><p>Discrete fiber reinforcements are mixed with in situ soils using a travelling rotary mixer to increase in-situ soil strength and deformation characteristics, ductility and rut resistance, so that the pavement system performance and life expectancy can be enhanced. This technique can effectively reduce the rutting deformation of pavements and required soil base thickness. This technique is applicable to embankment widening and working platform stabilization.</p><p>
