Settlement Analysis of Geosynthetics Reinforced Embankments

Geosynthetics have been used in many construction and environmental projects recent years, the use of geosynthetic products as an effective element is increasing. These materials, reinforcement, can solve problems building heavy structures roads on weak soils without need for excavation or filling, foundation, sub-foundation operations. In this study, using different number type materials with two types soil profiles layers these soils, settlement are investigated. The road superstructures consist three layers. Different modeled finite program, PLAXIS, to examine modeling results. By application Geogrids road, amount decreases significantly. It be seen that most reduction occurs geogrids profile though total displacement by increasing geogrids. On theother hand, it concluded geotextiles does not affect regardless layer numbers. Moreover, order any significant effect rate.
