Experimental study on performance of geosynthetic-reinforced soil model walls on rigid foundations subjected to static footing loading
Chengzhi Xiao,Jie Han,Zhen Zhang +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of model tests on the GRS walls were conducted to evaluate the effects of several influence factors, including the offset distance of a strip footing, the width of the strip footing and the length of geogrid reinforcement, on the ultimate bearing capacities of the Strip footings on GRS abutment walls.

Numerical analysis of tensile behavior of geogrids with rectangular and triangular apertures
TL;DR: In this article, the responses of geogrids with rectangular and triangular apertures when subjected to a uniaxial tensile load at different directions relative to the orientations of ribs in air were investigated.

An efficient optimal neural network based on gravitational search algorithm in predicting the deformation of geogrid-reinforced soil structures
TL;DR: This paper shows the workability of two soft computing techniques in predicting the deformation of GRS structures and recommends that the proposed models can be implemented in assessing the performance of geosynthetic reinforced soil structures.

Effect of Reinforcement Type on the Design Reinforcement Length of Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls
Ömer Bilgin,Eman Mansour +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different reinforcement types on required minimum reinforcement length and governing design criteria of mechanically stabilized earth walls was investigated, and the results indicated that, depending on the reinforcement type, the reinforcement types can affect both the required reinforcement length this paper.

Associated and non-associated visco-plasticity and plasticity in soil mechanics
TL;DR: The visco-plastic model is established as a realistic general description of soil behaviour as well as a computationally convenient fiction for solving any properly formulated plasticity problem as discussed by the authors.

Slope stability analysis by strength reduction
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of the shear strength reduction technique with the method of slices for a homogeneous embankment and showed that the latter is more accurate than the former.

Geosynthetic Reinforced Multitiered Walls
Dov Leshchinsky,Jie Han +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of parametric studies conducted in parallel using two independent types of analyses: one is based on limiting equilibrium (LE) and one on continuum mechanics, and conclude that if the two uncoupled analyses produce similar results, an acceptable level of confidence in the results can be afforded.
