THE LAST WORD ON REDUCTION FACTORS FOR SOIL REINFORCEMENT?

We are approaching the stage where, for reinforcing geosynthetics based on polyester fibres, generic factors can be assigned to most of the design parameters for limit state design. This is subject to the materials meeting certain quality levels which can be assessed using short-term tests. Manufacturers can still, if they wish, specify individual partial factors for their products, based on specific tests. Individual partial factors will have to be defined for geosynthetics based on other polymers. For serviceability limit state design it is only necessary to define the allowable load with reference to the service temperature and the acceptable increase in post-construction strain. For the covering abstract see ITRD E117244.
