THE EFFECT OF HIGH STRENGTH GEOSYNTHETIC TO STABILISE AN EMBANKMENT ON SOFT GROUND

Geosynthetics of many types such as nonwoven and geogrids have been used widely as reinforcements for embankments. One of these materials, a geosynthetic based on a high strength web material, was installed to stabilise an embankment until the soft ground could get sufficient strength due to consolidation. It was used in order to reduce the cost of construction of an expressway. The stress-strain behaviour of the material was examined in the laboratory and the behaviour of the reinforcement in the embankment was measured. This paper describes the relationship between the designed value and the observed behaviour of the material in the embankment together with the laboratory results. For the covering abstract see ITRD E109917.
