The use of discrete fibers in reinforcing soils is of interest to the geotechnical engineering community.
With constant reinforcement length, the reinforced soil zone could be treated as a deep beam.
Parameters considered included wall height, surcharge, reinforcement vertical spacing, reinforced soil properties, backfill/retained soil properties, and foundation soil properties.
The parameters considered included wall height, surcharge, reinforcement vertical spacing, reinforced soil properties, backfill/retained soil properties, and foundation soil properties.
Effect of different parameters involved in the design of reinforced soil retaining walls on the required minimum reinforcement length and the governing failure mode were studied.
The interface friction coefficient is an important design parameter for reinforced soil structures where the friction between the soil and reinforcement elements is mobilized.
Geocell mattresses are widely used in soil reinforcement due to their three-dimensional configuration, which can effectively confine and reinforce soil filled in their pockets.
A two-phase continuum description of reinforced soil structures is proposed in which the soil mass and the reinforcement network are treated as mutually interacting superposed media.
The basic theory of reinforced soil is presented.
This paper presents experimental investigations on an innovative construction method for reinforced soil structures by geosynthetics called prestressed reinforced soil.
