<p>A geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) mass is formed by placing closely-spaced layers of polymeric geosynthetic reinforcement in a soil mass during soil placement. The reinforcement in a GRS mass serves primarily to improve engineering properties of soil. ...

This manual outlines the state-of-the-art and recommended practice for designing and constructing Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) technology for the application of the Integrated Bridge System (IBS). The procedures presented in this manual are based on ...

<p>This paper presents a case history of a distressed 6m to 10m high soil nailed slope formed for basement excavation at fill ground over a natural valley. Above the soil nailed slope, there is an existing 8m to 11m high reinforced soil wall, located 23m away ...

<p>Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) (often called limit states design (LSD)) has been mandated in the AASHTO Bridge Design Specifications and will be adopted in future editions of Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code for all transportation-related structures ...

This manual is the reference text used for the FHWA NHI courses No. 132042 and 132043 on Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls and Reinforced Soil Slopes and reflects current practice for the design, construction and monitoring of these structures. This manual ...

<p>Reinforced soil walls have become very popular in seismic areas owing to their flexible nature and cost effectiveness when compared to the conventional retaining structures. Although the use of reinforced soil walls with modular block facings and gabion ...

<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 ...

The concept of using continuous filaments (threads) to reinforce soils has been applied in practice for more than a decade. The design of soil structures reinforced with continuous thread is based on limit state techniques where the failure criterion of the ...
