GEOSYNTHETIC MATERIAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES RELEVANT TO SOIL REINFORCEMENT APPLICATIONS

The increased use of geotextiles and geogrids in soil reinforcing installations has resulted in a need to understand the material properties of these polymeric materials. Both the polymer characteristics and the resultant manufactured products must be evaluated. Several areas of interest are discussed herein, written for the user beginning to study, design, specify and build geosynthetic reinforced soil structures. Topics deemed critical to soil reinforcement are presented, including differences in basic polymers used, definition of tensile characteristics, soil geosynthetic interaction and long term properties.
