...N. Tin; D.T. Bergado; P. Voottipruex; T. Tanchaisawat ABSTRACT: In this paper, a modification of the K-stiffness method, which is used to calculate the reinforcement load of mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) structures on firm foundations, was investigated for application to reinforced structures...

...R. J. Bathurst; Y. Miyata; A. Nernheim; A. M. Allen The K-stiffness Method is an empirically-developed working stress method used to compute reinforcement loads for the internal stability design of geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls under serviceability conditions. In this paper, additional data...

... and propagating into the soil mass. The maximum reinforcement tension predicted using the K-stiffness method was found to compare well with reinforcement tension values obtained from monitoring results. An important set of data on the behavior of prototype structures was reported by Christopher (1993) , who...
