Geosynthetics have proved to be suitable for reinforced soil retaining walls. Based on the increasing uses of geosynthetic reinforced soil systems in the regions, which bear frequent earthquakes, the study of dynamic behavior of structures seems necessary. Determining the reinforcement forces is; therefore, one of the most important and main points of discussions in designing retaining walls, b...

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...
