...M.-D. Nguyen; K.-H. Yang; W. M. Yalew This paper presents a series of compaction tests for investigating the compaction behavior of nonwoven geotextile-reinforced clay and the effects of permeable geotextiles on improvements in the density of reinforced clay. Specimens were compacted by varying...

... with two different polypropylene geogrid reinforcement materials, a polyester geogrid and a welded wire mesh. Each wall was constructed with the same modular block facing and reinforcement spacing of 0.6 m. The influence of compaction effort on wall displacements and horizontal toe load measurements...

... system is proposed by representing the geosynthetic reinforcement, the granular fill, and the soft foundation soil by a stretched rough elastic membrane, a Pasternak shear layer, and Winkler springs, respectively. This model incorporates the effect of compaction of the granular fill by considering...
