... undergo physical damage during their installation due to mechanical and thermal loads which currently are not taken into account in the design processes. These loads can produce a reduction in geosynthetic strength and therefore, it is necessary to know the secant modulus after installation in order...

... strength Split tensile strength Tangent modulus Secant modulus Soils with low strength are not desirable for use as a structural support. Soil properties can be improved through mechanical remediation techniques, one of which is replacing poor soil with better quality compacted soil. Due...
