When constructing flood protection structures such as river levees, oftentimes due to various factors engineers must design composite structures, i.e., reinforced earthen which comply with all the stability criteria. The most common way of reinforcing is usage geosynthetics, or mostly geogrids when talking about stability. Since geosynthetics are man-made materials produced in a controlled envi...

Construction on weak subsoil is a reoccurring challenge for engineers nowadays, which various different solutions are available. Geosynthetics getting more and popular one of their most widely used application reinforcement. Several types geosynthetics can be used, the well-known vertical drains geogrids. Prefabricated accelerating consolidation in oversaturated soils with high water content as...

the pull- out strength of the reinforcement has a significant role on the function of the most reinforced soil structures. since the coarse grain soils have a better interaction with the reinforcement, they are mostly used in these structures. in most situations, we have to transfer these granular soils from the borrow area, usually far from the site of the project. this will impose a considera...
