This affects the timeline and cost of construction. Amid this uncertainty, there has been an uptick in the adoption of alternate construction materials to meet deadlines and lower construction cost. One of these materials is Fiber Reinforced Polymer/Plastic (FRP) which has gained increased prominence due it's relative ease in availability.

The use of bentonite solely is based on its thixotrophic gel viscosity to provide support. Though the cost of polymer is generally more expensive than bentonite, the use of polymer is increasing because polymer is generally infinitely re-usable and very small amount of polymer is normally required for construction works.

The chemical activity of polymer fluids may also be reduced due to the loss of active polymers. Since polymer fluids are an active chemical system, whilst in use in an excavation, polymer molecules tend to sorb onto soil surfaces especially those of reactive clays (Lam et al., 2014a). As discussed previously, this is believed to be the reason ...
