Development and verification of a numerical model for the analysis of geosynthetic-reinforced soil segmental walls under working stress conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model was developed to simulate the response of three instrumented, full-scale, geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls under working stress conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical Model for Reinforced Soil Segmental Walls under Surcharge Loading
TL;DR: In this article, the construction and surcharge loading response of four full-scale reinforced-soil segmental retaining walls is simulated using the program FLAC, and the numerical model implementation is described and constitutive models for the component materials (i.e., modular block facing units, backfill and four different reinforcement materials) are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-Scale Shaking Table Tests on Modular-Block Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an experimental study of the earthquake performance of modular-block reinforced soil retaining walls which were backfilled with sand using large-scale benchmark shaking table tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reinforcement loads in geosynthetic walls and the case for a new working stress design method
TL;DR: In this article, a new working stress method for the calculation of reinforcement loads in geosynthetic reinforced soil walls is presented. But the method is calibrated against measured in situ wall reinforcement loads using a careful interpretation of reinforcement strains and the conversion of strain to load using a suitably selected reinforcement stiffness value.

Design and behaviour of a geosynthetic reinforced retaining wall and bridge abutment on a yielding foundation
Graeme D. Skinner,R. Kerry Rowe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the numerical analysis of a 6-m high geosynthetic reinforced soil wall supporting a bridge abutment and approach road constructed on a 10-m thick yielding clayey soil deposit.

Biotechnical and Soil Bioengineering Slope Stabilization: A Practical Guide for Erosion Control
Donald H. Gray,Robbin B. Sotir +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of woody plants in stabilizing slopes against both surficial erosion and mass movement is discussed and a broad range of soil bioengineering methods, including live staking, live fascines, brushlaying, live crib walls, branch packing and live slope gratings are described.
Design manual for segmental retaining walls
TL;DR: The use of segmental retaining walls has increased in residence, highways, and other commercial and municipal projects as mentioned in this paper, which provides design methodologies, installation procedures and sample specifications for the walls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geosynthetic reinforced soil structures
TL;DR: In this paper, an approach for stability analysis of geosynthetic reinforced earth structures over firm foundations is presented, which involves both internal and external stability analyses, based on variational limiting equilibrium and satisfies all equilibrium requirements.

Creep and recovery of ultra high modulus polyethylene
M.A. Wilding,I. M. Ward +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the creep and recovery behavior of ultra high modulus polyethylene has been studied over the temperature range 20 −70°C and four types of material were examined; low molecular weight and intermediate molecular weight homopolymer, an ethylene hexene-1 copolymer, and a sample prepared by γ-irradiation of isotropic low molecular-weight polymer prior to drawing.
