... station device. Backfill soil properties and geogrid stiffness properties were characterized through laboratory testing. A two-dimensional finite element model was developed to simulate the performance of the instrumented wall at end of construction. Reinforcement loads deduced from measured strains were...

... and lateral deformations, excess pore pressures and reinforcement tensions in comparison with the 2D predictions were quite consistent and reasonable. Figure 5. Two-dimensional condition for geogrid reinforced embankment with FLAC^3D Table 1. Selected parameters for finite element...
