Fabric reinforcement of low embankments on soft foundations

Creator:

Greenway, Daryl Rodney

Abstract:

Nonlinear large deflection finite element analyses of a fabric reinforced embankment on muskeg were performed to predict fabric tension and the effect of fabric stiffness on embankment deflections. The predicted fabric tensions were compared with the results of a sliding block analysis, and show this simple analysis requires further correlation...

Consolidation characteristics of sand-clay mixtures

Creator:

Anderson, Donald G. (Donald Gordon)

Abstract:

Combinations of cohesive and cohesionless soils are often encountered when evaluating the engineering properties of soils. The stress-volume characteristics of the mixed soil are found to vary according to the proportion of each component. If the cohesive soil composes more than a certain fraction of the material, the magnitude of...

Evaluation of finite element techniques for soil reinforcement applications

Creator:

Berg, Ryan Robert

Abstract:

A literature review and a computer study are conducted to identify the requirements of finite element programs for the specific use of discrete analyses of reinforced soil structures. The utility of six commercially available programs are appraised with respect to the identified requirements. The results of the study are directed...
