Reinforced Soil Engineering. Advances in Research and Practice
This one-of-a-kind reference tool evaluates the efficacy, stability, and strength of various soil walls, slopes and structures that are enhanced by geosynthetic materials. The book offers stimulating contributions from more than 50 leading specialists in the field, Reinforced Soil Engineering compiles recent innovations in design layout, controlled construction, and geosythetic material implementation for improved cost-effectiveness, maintenance, and functioning of civil engineering applications. The book also focuses on geotechnical earthquake issues and case histories from countries including the United States, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Turkey and other European nations.
