Reinforced soil with geosynthetics – hands-on learning (PBL) using sand and paper
An elective module on geosynthetics was designed and made available to Civil Engineering students (5 years’ integrated masters). This paper reports a hands-on activity using sand and paper, adopted as part of a problem-based learning (PBL) model and the feedback collected in 2011/2012 using questionnaires. The model and its main features are briefly described, particularly the problem on soil r...
متن کاملThe effect of nano-Kaolinite on liquefaction resistance of liquefiable sand
This study is an attempt to investigate the effect of the nano-kaolinite concentration on the liquefaction resistance of liquefiable sand from Gorgan city of Iran. To examine the influence of the nano-kaolinite concentration on the liquefaction resistance of nano-kaolinite-sand mixtures, three different nano-kaolinite concentrations: 3%, 6% and 9% were prepared. Cyclic triaxial tests were condu...
متن کاملImprovement of Strength Parameters of Sand Reinforced with Polymeric Fibers
Triaxial consolidated drained, unconfined compression, and CBR tests have been conducted in order to study the stress-strain, strength, and volume change characteristics of fine sand specimens reinforced by polymeric fibers made from carpet wastes. The variables are aspect ratio (length/width) and weight percentage of the fibers. The results indicate that the peak strength and total volume chan...
متن کاملInvestigation of Liquefaction Mechanism and Displacement in Buried Sand Layers
One of the most important reasons for damages during earthquakes is the liquefaction of loose and saturated sand soils. However, in many regions with proper soil specifications, the large settlements have been observed in the ground surface. Loose sand layers buried in fine soils are one of the cases which may result in these problems and as a weak point during earthquake can cause this phenome...
متن کاملWorldwide Applications of Geosynthetics Reinforced Walls for Soil Reinforcement
Geosynthetics have become well established construction materials for geotechnical applications in most parts of the world. Because they constitute manufactured materials, new products and applications are developed on a routine basis to provide solutions to routine and critical problems alike. Results from recent research and from monitoring of instrumented structures throughout the years have...
