Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of placing high strength linear reinforcements in a soil backfill to produce a vertical retaining structure is a recent idea that has been applied with success at a number of locations. Rational procedures have been developed for the design of these structures when the reinforcements consist of long metal straps. In certain situations advantages in construction and economy could be gained by replacing the metal straps with a continuous high strength fabric as reinforcement. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the behavior of a number of fabric reinforced earth models and to determine if the design methods that have been applied to metal strap reinforced earth walls can be applied to fabric reinforced walls. The economic feasibility of fabric reinforced earth walls was also investigated. The results of the model tests indicated that the design of fabric reinforced earth walls using methods developed for metal strap reinforced walls produces conservative results. Further investigation is required to define the actual mechanism involved in fabric reinforced earth walls. The economic analysis indicated that fabric reinforced walls can be competitive with other types of retaining structures for low heights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to provide a detailed overview of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Walls Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls deploy horizontal layers of closely spaced tensile inclusion in the fill material to achieve stability of a soil mass. GRS walls are more adaptable to different environmental conditions, more economical, and offer high performance in a wide range of transportation infrastructure applications. This book addresses both GRS and GMSE, with a much stronger emphasis on the former. For completeness, it begins with a review of shear strength of soils and classical earth pressure theories. It then goes on to examine the use of geosynthetics as reinforcement, and followed by the load-deformation behavior of GRS mass as a soil-geosynthetic composite, reinforcing mechanisms of GRS, and GRS walls with different types of facing. Finally, the book finishes by covering design concepts with design examples for different loading and geometric conditions, and the construction of GRS walls, including typical construction procedures and general construction guidelines. The number of GRS walls and abutments built to date is relatively low due to lack of understanding of GRS. While failure rate of GMSE has been estimated to be around 5%, failure of GRS has been found to be practically nil, with studies suggesting many advantages, including a smaller susceptibility to long-term creep and stronger resistance to seismic loads when well-compacted granular fill is employed. Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls will serve as an excellent guide or reference for wall projects such as transportation infrastructure—including roadways, bridges, retaining walls, and earth slopes—that are in dire need of repair and replacement in the U.S. and abroad. Covers both GRS and GMSE (MSE with geosynthetics as reinforcement); with much greater emphasis on GRS walls Showcases reinforcing mechanisms, engineering behavior, and design concepts of GRS and includes many step-by-step design examples Features information on typical construction procedures and general construction guidelines Includes hundreds of line drawings and photos Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls is an important book for practicing geotechnical engineers and structural engineers, as well as for advanced students of civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering.

This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis· seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) *at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac· tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 20 (thesis year 1975) a total of 10,374 theses titles from 28 Canadian and 239 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. The organization of Volume 20 is identical to that of past years. It consists of theses titles arranged by discipline and by university within each discipline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental model study to compare the efficiency of metal and nonwoven fiber fabric reinforcement in mobilizing "sand-tie interaction" was developed. Model retaining walls were constructed in a sample box, sand was pluvially deposited at predetermined relative densities by a specially designed stationary depositor, and reinforcements were placed during deposition at varying levels and concentrations to meet the requirements of a statistical experimental setup. Two phases of tests were performed. Pull-out tests for measuring the lateral reaction on the face of the retaining wall, which consisted of three strain-gage instrumented aluminum plates, were conducted in the first phase. From the results obtained in these tests a comparative statistical analysis was made. During the second phase, the reinforcements in models of reinforced-soil retaining walls were overstressed to failure by surcharging of the backfill, and a comparison of the height of backfill at failure versus the length of the reinforcement was made. It was concluded that fiber fabric has advantages over the metal reinforcement used in the construction of Reinforced Earth® structures.
