Parametric evaluation of relevant parameters affecting the soil-geosynthetic interaction under small displacement
(2016-12)
Geosynthetic products have been used for soil reinforcements purposes for the past couple of decades. The Civil Engineering industry, more specifically the transportation and geotechnical engineering sectors, have experienced ...
Moisture drainage under unsaturated soil conditions with the aid of enhanced lateral drainage (ELD) geotextiles
(2018-10-04)
Drainage under unsaturated soil conditions has always been a challenge for many civil engineering applications where removal of this extra moisture would improve the performance of the system. The suction in the small pores ...
Sources of variability in small-scale soil-geosynthetic interaction testing
(2020-08-13)
Lateral restraint is the primary mechanism associated with geosynthetic-stabilized road bases. Under traffic loading, the unbound aggregates tend to displace laterally unless they are restrained by the subgrade or by ...
A study of geosynthetic reinforced flexible pavement system
(2009-12)
The use of geosynthetics as reinforcement for the base layer of flexible pavement systems has grown steadily over the past thirty years. In spite of the evidence that geosynthetic reinforcements can lead to improved pavement ...
Hydraulic performance and stability of geosynthetic landfill cover systems with constrained drainage at the outlet
(2011-08)
Sliding failures of landfill cover systems are common, and the slip surface is often at the interface between a geosynthetic drainage layer and an underlying textured geomembrane. In an effort to understand the sliding ...
A study on geosynthetic-reinforced asphalt systems
(2018-10-04)
Inclusion of geosynthetics within hot-mix asphalt (HMA) layers has been reported to be an effective technique to enhance the performance of pavements. The main benefits expected from geosynthetic reinforcement of HMA layers ...
Field performance of geogrid reinforced low-volume pavements
(2010-05)
For the past three decades, geosynthetics have been recognized as materials that can significantly improve the performance of pavements on weak subgrade. Pavements exhibit non-linear elasto-plastic behavior. The addition ...
Environmental loads on control and geosynthetic stabilized pavements over expansive clay subgrades
(2018-09-11)
Expansive clay subgrades have been reported as one of the major sources for damages to roadways in central and east Texas. The frequent and predominant form of damage to roadways over expansive clay subgrades includes ...
Evaluation of load transfer mechanisms between soil and geogrid using transparent soil
(2017-12-11)
The increasing use of different types of geosynthetics in the design of reinforced soil retaining structures and of stiffened roadways require proper evaluation of the mobilization of load-transfer mechanisms between soil ...
An analytical model for quantification of geosynthetic benefits in roadway base stabilization
(2018-08)
Stabilization of base aggregate using geosynthetics may provide improved performance in flexible pavements. Through the aggregate-geosynthetic interaction, the induced shear stress in the base aggregates is transferred to ...
