Performance of instrumented large-scale unreinforced and reinforced embankments loaded by a strip footing to failure

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an experimental investigation in which two large-scale geosynthetic reinforced soil embankments and one unreinforced soil embedding were taken to collapse under a strip footing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined Allowable Strength Reduction Factor for Geosynthetic Creep and Installation Damage

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of synergism on the combined effect of polymeric creep and installation damage is explored by reviewing published and unpublished constant load (creep) data for both undamaged and installation-damaged geosynthetic specimens.

Geosynthetics for soil reinforcement

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce geosynthetic materials and briefly describe their types and manufacture, functions and applications, properties and tests, design, selection, and specifica- tions.

Quasi-static cyclic performance of RC exterior beam-column joint assemblages strengthened with geosynthetic materials

TL;DR: In this paper, two variants of geosynthetic material named geogrid and geotextile were used for strengthening the beam-column joints in the experimental program, and two different types of strengthening patterns were used in which one was horizontal U-shaped pattern, and the other one was the diagonal cross (X-shaped) pattern.

Tensile creep behavior of a pvc coated polyester geogrid at different temperatures

TL;DR: In this article, a series of tensile tests (ASTM D6637 and conventional long-term) were performed to evaluate the tensile strength and elongation at break for the 80°C test condition was inconsistent with the results from other test conditions.
