This research studies the effect of the addition of polypropylene fibers (PF) on the properties of the swelling clayey soil. The effect of PF on the shear strength of the clayey soil has been studied and the results show that adding PF, up to specific value, increases the shear strength. Beyond this value of addition, the shear strength decreases. The increase in shear strength was about (100-110) % and the optimal addition ratio was determined.

Clayey expansive soils are fine grained soil with a low strength. Its swelling potential and shear strength are significantly affected by the water content. This research aims to study the effect of the initial water content on both shear strength and the required displacement to reach the maximum strength.
This paper deals with the study of abnormalities crawl that occur in soils Algdharyh bulging Khat turns out that these abnormalities are not related only to enter the water to the soil, but there are distortions in order to get the bulge constant moisture and these distortions you get with the times. This research aims to theoretical and practical study of the behavior of creep in Algdharyh bulging soil.
With the widespread of oil facilities, distribution centers of oil and oil tanks, it has become a must in this article to study the impact of these materials on the physical and mechanical properties of soils, especially at coast to avoid distortions and changes in the properties of these soils. We tried in this research to study Clay coastal soil. Two main samples were studied: one polluted with materials leaked from these sites and the other was not. The samples were taken from both types and transported to the laboratories of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the University in October. In the laboratory, we conducted experiments and evaluated their results.
This paper aims at investigating the effect of organic matter content on the engineering properties of the soil. The effect of the organic matter on both the consistency limits and strength have been investigated. The results show that the organic matter increases both the plasticity and the strength of soil. Mathematical formula is presented in which the unconfined compression strength of the soil is related to the organic matter content. It was concluded that increasing the organic matter content increases the displacement corresponding to the maximum shear stress. In addition, the effect of the organic matter has been studied and the results show that the organic matter increases the compressibility of the soil. Stabilizing the soil with cement has been investigated as well. The results show that adding the cement to the soil improves the strength of the soil and decreases its swelling potential. Depending on the organic matter content, a mathematical formula is presented to determine the required cement ratio to treat the soil to decrease its swelling potential.
Recently worldwide researches have been devoted to the use of steel fibers recovered from used tires in concrete. In Syria the amount of recovered steel from used tires is estimated about 6000 tons/year. For this purpose a bead wire having a diamete r of 0.8 mm from burnt tires was extracted and used. Three mixes with cement content 300- 350 -400kg/m3 were produced incorporating three different volumes of fiber 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% and three different length 30-40-60 mm. The concrete obtained by adding these fibers evidenced a satisfactory improvement of the fragile matrix mostly in terms of toughness and post cracking behavior On the other hand it was improvements in compressive strength by steel fiber inclusion the interesting results confirm the promising application of concrete reinforced with steel fibers extracted from used tires in aircraft pavement hydraulic structures and ground slab in fabrics.
