<p>This paper presents a thorough study on various available modern ground improvement techniques and their applications in civil engineering in present scenario. On the basis of long term performance results of various ground improvement techniques and its ...

<p>A series of finite element (FE) simulations are carried out to evaluate the benefits of integrating a high modulus geo-fabric as reinforcement into the soil-layers in this paper. Finite element analysis can handle complex geometry, different boundary conditions ...

<p>Soil nailing is a technique in which soil slopes, excavation or retaining walls are passively reinforced by the insertion of relatively slende elements.</p>

<p>Traditional soil reinforcing techniques involve the use of continuous geosynthetic inclusions such as geogrids and geotextiles. The acceptance of geosynthetics in reinforced soil construction has been triggered by a number of factors, including aesthetics, ...

<p>Conventional investigations on the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soils are often investigated at the failure point. In this paper, a new concept of comparison of the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soil by estimating the strength and strength ...

<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 ...

<p>This Geoguide presents a recommended standard of good practice for the design and construction supervision of permanent reinforced fill features in Hong Kong. The Geoguide also provides a Model Specification which stipulates the general requirements on ...

An investigation was undertaken to evaluate the integrity of a geogrid - reinforced steep slope subjected to significant differential settlements and seismic loading. The reinforced soil structure under investigation was constructed in 1987 in order to enhance ...

An approximate calculation, based on bearing capacity theory, is presented for the ultimate capacity of an unreinforced or reinforced unpaved road, idealized as a granular fill over clay. The calculation is calibrated against rigorous numerical analyses to ...

Stability analyses of reinforced soil structures are traditionally based on limit equilibrium calculations. Results from such analyses are sometimes ambiguous because of different assumptions made in addition to the <br>limit state. It is shown in this paper ...
