Laboratory evaluation of geosynthetic-reinforced pavement sections

TL;DR: In this paper, preliminary experimental and analytical investigations were conducted to evaluate the performance of pavements with and without geotextile or geogrid reinforcement materials, and it was concluded that geosynthetics can substantially improve the performance for a pavement section constructed on a subgrade soil with a low California bearing ratio.

Integral-Abutment Bridges: Problems and Innovative Solutions Using EPS Geofoam and Other Geosynthetics

TL;DR: This document does not constitute a design manual or standard, and should not be interpreted, used or referred to as such, and the author assumes no liability for the performance of any structure constructed using the methodologies discussed in this document.

Critical height and surface deformation of column-supported embankments

TL;DR: In this article, column-supported embankments with or without basal geosynthetic reinforcement can be used in soft ground conditions to reduce settlement by transferring the embankment load to the columns through stress redistribution above and below the foundation subgrade level.

Hydraulic conductivity and chemical compatibility of some Victorian soils used as liners for waste containment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the test results of the compatibility and hydraulic conductivity of some Victorian soils used for liner construction, and the compatibility of the liner material with the permeant or leachate encountered.

Development of an improved numerical model for concrete-to-soil interfaces in soil-structure interaction analyses. Report 1, Preliminary study

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an interface model capable of giving accurate predictions of the interface response under field loading conditions, such as normal and shear stresses, as well as shear stress reversals.
