Geosynthetics are planar polymeric products, which are used in connection with soil, rock or other soil-like materials to fulfill various functions in geoenvironmental engineering. Geosynthetics are of ever-growing importance in the construction industry. Sealing of waste storage facilities to safely prevent the emission of wastewater, landfill gas and contaminated dust as well as the diffusion...

The use of recycled construction and demolition (C&D) materials as an alternative backfill in the geosynthetic-reinforced structures, such embankments retaining walls, has been pointed out a sustainable effective means attenuating environmental impacts associated with C&D waste disposal to landfill, while also reducing natural resource depletion. Creep is important time-dependent mechanical pro...

Two-dimensional model tests combined with PIV technology were conducted to study the failure behavior of strip footing on geosynthetic-reinforced granular soil foundations a mesoscale. The results showed that geosynthetic reinforcements improve bearing capacity foundations; however, effectiveness reinforcement was affected by position, length, and number geosynthetics. mesoscale factor affectin...

The paper focuses on the evaluation of shear strength in conditions low normal stress various geosynthetic-geosynthetic interfaces, which are typical landfill cover systems, by means inclined plane test, with aim studying friction mobilisation relation to kinematic behaviours. results three different methods evaluate angle were analysed, together sensitivity interfaces wear effect and influence...

Geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls are structures typically constructed with compacted and thus unsaturated soils. The use of local fine-grained soils as backfill material has been a common practice in view the significant cost reduction comparison to granular backfills. This is especially applicable tropical areas where lateritic found these scan exhibit outstanding geotechnical properties mai...

Accurate predictions of the amount and the rate of long- term deformation of reinforced soils under an applied load are important key issue in geotechnical engineering, in which the deformation of soil develops with time at a state of constant effective stress. Since geosynthetic is generally considered creep sensitive therefore, evaluation of creep behavior of geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS...

The purpose of this study is to investigate and quantify the load-carrying capacity square footings supported by foundations made geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS). A significant area research in geotechnical engineering estimation burden-carrying limits feet laying on as a green building technology. This aims foundations, with particular focus how these can be used environmentally friendly me...
