<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>

Geosynthetics have become well established construction materials for geotechnical and environmental applications in most parts of the world. Because they constitute manufactured materials, new products and applications are developed on a routine basis to ...

<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 ...

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, ...

Current design guidelines for geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures disagree over the shear strength parameters that should be selected to characterize the backfill material. Most geosynthetic reinforcing materials are classified as extensible inclusions ...
