Based on the consolidated undrained test under cyclic loading, the mechanical response of fiber-reinforced sand under cyclic loading was studied by varying fiber content (0.2% and 0.4%), fiber length (7 mm and 13 mm), and cyclic stress ratio (0.22, 0.24 and 0.26), and the effects of fiber content and fiber length on the excess pore water pressure, dynamic strength and dynamic shear modulus were discussed. The results showed that with the increasing of fiber content, the dynamic strength and liquefaction resistance increased, whereas the accumulation rate of excess pore water pressure decreased. The reduction rate of dynamic shear modulus decreased with the increasing of fiber length, and the dynamic strength decreased with the increasing of cyclic stress ratio, which indicated that the dynamic characteristics of fiber-reinforced sand were better than that of unreinforced sand.
