nto account bined effects of root diameter distribution, geometry and mechanics, and because in theРmodel bundle deformation controlled by load instead of displacement, the root bundle force-displacement curve not available past theРmaximum force. To remedy some of these issues Schwarz proposed the Root Bundle Model on the basis of FBM model. RBM was aРdisplacement-controlled fiber bundle model, to estimate the pullout force of root bundles as a function of displacement and the sumРof the single pullout force. Finally, discussed in detail the root pull-out mechanism, and explored the direction of development ofРstudy on soil reinforcement mechanisms by root.РKey words: soil reinforcement by plant roots; mechanical effect; the Fiber Bundle Model; the Root Bundle Model; root-soilРinteraction
