I am doing a project on stabilization of soil and wanted to add fibre admixtures in soil.
During the mixing process, it was found to be important to add the water prior to adding the fibres, to prevent floating of the fibres.
uniform distribution of fiber within soil is a matter of concern when you are mixing them together. Development of electrostatic charges on fibers and soil grains during mixing (rubbing) causes problems in getting the uniform distribution. So you should prevent the charge development by adding some water or do the mixing somehow the developing charges can be easily neutralized (discharging).
Check it out for glance idea of precautions to be taken while mixing fibres.
Regards,
Rotating mixer may be used to check uniform density of mix.
