GEOSYNTHETICS IN FOUNDATION REINFORCEMENT AND EROSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The variety and number of applications of geosynthetics in geotechnical engineering continues to grow rapidly. This proceedings focuses on two specific applications: soil reinforcement beneath shallow foundations and erosion control systems. The contributions are from academicians, practicing engineers, government engineers, and manufacturers. Topics addressed in the foundation reinforcement papers include: 1) analytical procedures to determine the bearing capacity of a geosynthetic-reinforced foundation; 2) laboratory investigations of geogrid reinforced soils examining stress distribution under static loads and settlement as a result of cyclic loading; 3) full-scale field studies of preloaded/prestressed geosynthetic-reinforced soils; and 4) bearing capacity and settlement design practices of spread footings over geosynthetic-reinforced foundations. Topics addressed in the geosynthetic erosion control papers include a field study of a landfill cover, a case study of a biotechnically stabilized earthen buttress, and a case study of a vegetative channel lining. An erosion control materials test facility and vegetation selection for geosynthetic erosion control products are addressed in two additional papers.
