In recent decades, corrosion in steel reinforcement has been one of the fundamental risks steel-reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Geosynthetics can be an alternative approach to solve problems. The current experimental research work investigates structural performance geogrid-reinforced (GRC) elements. Initially, five different geotextiles and biaxial geogrid materials were selected embedded...

In a severe earthquake, the walls of brick buildings experience in-plane shear and out-of-plane bending, leading to diagonal crack corner failure, respectively. this study, an experimental investigation was carried out observe above damages on masonry reinforced with geogrid embedded in bed joint mortar walls. It observed that panels showed better strength, lateral ductility, etc. A qualitative...

This study aims to demonstrate the effects of geogrid reinforcement on bearing capacity strip footing under eccentric loading. Numerical analysis using finite element program called (PLAXIS 2D Professional v.8.2) are presented. The effect each depth ratio topmost layer (u/B), vertical distance between consecutive layers (h/B), number (N), and effective (d/B) were studied, where (B) is width. Al...

The failure mechanism of MSE (mechanically stabilized earth) walls was studied via numerical analysis with the finite element strength reduction method, which verified as an effective technique by simulating experimental results reported in previous papers. program applied to explore effects reinforcement, geometry, and seismic parameters on control at design stage avoid unavoidable errors expe...
