• Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil with Retaining Wall (GRS-RW) vs conventional embankment. The experiments are carried out in a full-scale testing facility laboratory. Two track forms considered: three-sleeper concrete slab and ballasted track. GRS-RW structure showed good performance under both static cyclic loading. pressure levels found the experiment were compared against literature. This pape...

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...

Geosynthetic reinforced capping of highwater content waste materials is becoming an efficient and economic way of dealing with the confinement of the contaminants. To define the filtration performance of sludge-geotextile systems and investigate their durability, ten sludge lagoon test cells were constructed using of a lightweight fill, i.e. a wood chip/soil mixture over different geotextiles. ...
