..., and soil–geosynthetic interaction. Large-scale triaxial compression tests on geosynthetic-encased sand were performed to validate the effectiveness of the method. Parametric studies were conducted using the validated method to investigate the effects of nonlinear elastic parameters, the peak strength...

... of strong soil. The difference in the lateral earth pressure resulting from the types of backfill soil and foundation was small except at the bottom, where the deformation was also larger for soft soils.

... and extended length of the geosynthetic reinforcement. The resulting nonlinear equation for the soil-geosynthetic interface shear stress pull-out mechanism is nondimensionalised, expressed in a finite difference form, and solved numerically using the Gauss-Siedel technique. A parametric study is carried out...

... is validated using the test results of two full-scale walls. The results of parametric studies indicate that facing interblock friction significantly reduces the required geosynthetic length and strength for a near-vertical wall. This effect diminishes as the slope angle reduces. Even though the soil-block...
