Over the last fifteen years increased research interest has been observed on the dynamic response and stability issues of landfills. Nevertheless, there are still important aspects that have not been yet fully resolved. Geosynthetic liners, constructed to isolate waste material from the environment, are undoubtedly one of the most important issues related to seismic design of landfills, since a...

A pavement structure consists of several layers for the primary purpose of transmitting and distributing traffic loads to the subgrade. Rutting is one form of pavement distresses that may influence the performance of road pavements. Geosynthetics is one type of synthetic materials utilized for improving the performance of pavements against rutting. Various studies have been conducted on using d...

This study presents a multi-effect coupling model to optimize the design of geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported embankment (GRPSE) considering effects soil arching, membranes, and pile–soil interaction on coastal highway. The developed could GRPSE fulfill construction requirements at relatively low project cost. was achieved by adjusting critical factors that govern settlement GRPSEs, such a...

Localized strains due to production defects, seams and punctured zones significantly affect mechanical performance of geosynthetic materials. Accurate determination of localized strains becomes particularly important for QC/QA evaluation of these materials and plays a critical role in design problems. A number of geosynthetic specimens were tested in an accredited laboratory to determine strain...

The national planners have put infrastructures development on priority. This has resulted in transport planning widening of National Highway and new roads in country. Thus work of Retaining Earth (RE) structures/ slopes will be going to design in very large numbers over different areas. The availability of backfill material compatible with geosynthetics reinforcements and economy in both has be...

One of the most effective ways to increase longevity pavement structures is through integration geosynthetic reinforcement. Geosynthetics are synthetic materials such as geotextiles, geogrids, or geocomposites that added interface between subgrade and base layer a structure. To evaluate effect various parameters on structural benefits reinforcement structure low-volume traffic flexible pavement...
