Use of Geosynthetic in Soft Soil Foundation in Mining Area: A Case Study with Analytical and Numerical Studies

The design of embankments on soft foundations with the application geosynthetics is a subject frequently studied. In addition, disposal mine waste material needed challenge, due to area availability. this context, work presents study case for treatment, make feasible construction pile embankment. also stress–strain analysis via finite-element modeling considering critical state soil mechanics approach. Then, geosynthetic liner and internal drainage system presented based results analysis. Hence, are required environmental concerns material. Thus, discussion use method assess need treatment foundation in presented. deformations assessed at showed that would absorb strains only controlling rising ratio. solution proposed numerical reduces reinforcement be usually. Furthermore, ease installation process large capabilities made possible an embankment near industrial plant.
