Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mechanism of soil-reinforcement interaction for a reinforced embankment on soft clay has been explored by conducting a parametric study using a coupled non-linear elastoplastic finite element program. One of the major issues in the design of a reinforced embankment on soft clay is the magnitude of tension that can be mobilized in the geosynthetic reinforcement. Previous research using geotechnical centrifuge modelling and present research using finite element modelling has confirmed that the tension mobilized in the reinforcement is only of the order of active lateral thrust in the embankment. The parametric study has revealed that the soil-reinforcement interaction mechanism depends on the ratio of embankment height to the depth of the clay layer. The embankment behaves similar to a rigid footing in case of deep clay deposit. In this case, the failure mechanism is similar to a slip circle and there is very little contribution from the clay-reinforcement interface towards the mobilization of reinforcement tension. However, if the depth of clay deposit is small, the soil-reinforcement interaction mode is similar to direct shear failure and slip surface is located close to the clay-reinforcement interface. In this case, the contribution of clay-reinforcement interface towards the tension mobilized in the reinforcement is higher and therefore, the contribution of the reinforcement towards overall stability of the embankment is greater. Based on the results of the parametric study a novel serviceability criterion is proposed that aims to limit the lateral deformation of the clay foundation at the toe of the embankment by limiting the allowable mobilized tension in the reinforcement. A simple procedure for the evaluation of the efficiency of soil-reinforcement interface for reinforced embankments on soft clays is also proposed. The validity of the proposed serviceability criterion and the design charts was successfully tested using two field case studies. Sackville t.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased demands for improved rail and road links, and the lack of good quality building land are forcing engineers to construct embankments with steeper side slopes and on lower grade soils. The use of reinforcing geotextiles is one way of overcoming the problems this presents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis reports a theoretical and experimental study of the behaviour of reinforced earth embankments on soft clay foundations. Previous work on the analysis, design and modelling of reinforced earth is reviewed. Attention is drawn to limit equilibrium slip circle analysis, which is commonly used for the design of reinforced earth embankments, and the problems associated with its use are explained. -- As an alternative design method plasticity analysis provides an acceptable stress discontinuity field for this situation, and allows the calculation of a lower bound to the bearing capacity of the foundation. A rupture mechanism is postulated on the basis of the stress field and the resulting pattern of displacements is developed. -- A series of reinforced and unreinforced model tests were performed in which sand embankments, founded on layers of soft kaolin (of different thickness), were surcharge loaded to collapse. The foundation deformation fields were measured using a radiographic technique. Collapse loads and reinforcement load distributions were also recorded. These experimental tests were mathematically modelled using the CRISP finite element program, and an investigation into the effect of the reinforcement stiffness on the composite behaviour of the model was carried out. Data from a full scale instrumented embankment is also presented. -- A comparison between the theoretically predicted collapse fields of deformation in the foundation and those measured experimentally is made, and the suitability of applying plasticity theory to the design of reinforced embankments is discussed. The influence of foundation depth and reinforcement stiffness on the bearing capacity of the clay layer, and the loads measured in the reinforcement, is noted and explained in the context of the theoretical plasticity approach.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to geotechnical engineers, highway designers, construction engineers, planners, and others interested in constructing or widening highway embankments on problem foundations. Information is presented on site investigation and testing and on the various construction alternatives that are available when a highway must cross a problem foundation site. Construction over problem soil areas requires extensive site investigations and comparative design analyses to evaluate alternatives. This report of the Transportation Research Board updates and expands synthesis 29, which was published in 1973. It discusses the treatments and construction procedures that can be used to construct highway embankments over areas of soil that would otherwise not support such embankments. It describes site investigations, design analyses, and the kinds of treatments currently being used, including where they are applicable and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
