The development of reinforcements for soil has made an impact in most the civil engineering sectors especially transportation. use geogrids is frequent roadways but they are also finding railways. major that could have providing desired stiffness to a section by reducing material and serving as proper reinforcement material. In current study, attempt been redesign railway embankment economicall...

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...

This work reports on the experience gained in the context of the development of a system of wireless sensor networks for marine environment monitoring, as a part of the GeoGrid project. The proposed system employs a monitoring network composed of commonly available motes, equipped with sensors for monitoring water quality in restricted marine environments. Those lowerend nodes communicate among...

This research was performed to investigate the behavior of strip footing on geosynthetic reinforced sandy soil and to study the effect of different parameters contributing to their performance using laboratory model tests. The parameters investigated in the study included top layer spacing (u), width of reinforcement (b), vertical spacing between layers (s) and number of reinforcement layers (N...

The construction of integral bridges is one the most effective methods to reduce bridges’ and in-service costs. However, there are associated geotechnical problems with their abutments backfill due integrated abutments. main goal this study evaluate quantify benefits geogrid reinforcement for reducing backfill’s problems. For purpose, using small-scale physical modeling, reinforcing an abutment...

In this paper, it has been attempted to evaluate the performance of asphalt overlays which were reinforced with geogrid, modified by sasobit and combination of them on rehabilitation of reflective cracking. The laboratory tests under dynamic loading in bending mode were conducted to investigate reflective cracking retardation compared to reference samples. The results illustrated that in a cert...
