<p>The pull- out strength of the reinforcement has a significant role on the function of the most reinforced soil structures. Since the coarse grain soils have a better interaction with the reinforcement, they are mostly used in these structures. In most situations, ...

Large cyclic stresses induced from heavy traffic can cause significant degradation of rail tracks, leading to poor track geometry and safety. Inclusion of resilient materials such as geosynthetics to reinforce the track substructure has been observed in the ...

<p>Geogrid reinforced soil structures are planned and constructed in increasing amounts due to their various benefits. Little amounts of failures or deformations beyond serviceability limit state are reported. Multiple factors can influence the behavior of ...

The objectives of this study are to investigate and evaluate the benefits of inclusion of geogrids in two types of geosynthetic reinforced soil/aggregate structures&mdash;reinforced soil foundations (RSF) and reinforced base aggregate in flexible pavements, ...

<p>Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls reinforced by geogrids and geotextiles have seen a tremendous growth over the past thirty years. However, along with this growth has come numerous failures consisting of excessive deformation and, in some cases, ...

The contribution of transverse ribs to the soil-geogrids interaction under pullout mode has been well documented. However, the contribution of transverse ribs to the soil-geogrid interaction under direct shear mode is, at best, unclear. Consequently, this ...

As part of improvements to a roadway in coastal South Carolina, a portion of the road crossing reclaimed marshland was widened. The new lanes were constructed on a column supported embankment consisting of sand fill reinforced by geogrid and supported by vibro-concrete ...

<p>Soil reinforcement is a practical solution to construction over weak soils. Application of the kinematic approach of limit analysis to reinforced soil is reviewed, both for traditional reinforcement with strips or sheets of geosynthetic material and for ...

This document describes the use of geogrids in flexible pavement systems including design charts, product specifications, and construction guidance.

A geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) system was constructed to support the shallow footings of a two-span bridge and the approaching roadway structures. Construction of this system, the Founders/Meadows bridge abutments, was completed in 1999 near Denver, ...
