... of pipelines are technical, economic and social. In the case of a sewer network failure, illness and epidemics might result. In this paper, to protect the buried pipe, use of a three-dimensional geosynthetic (geocell) is investigated to reinforce the trench. Two series of three-dimensional full-scale tests...

... by the anchorage at the top of the slope), anchorage solutions using trenches of varying forms are sometimes used. Calculating the required dimensions of this anchorage remains problematic. To improve knowledge of the behavior of anchor trenches, experimental studies and numerical studies were developed. Full...

...J.P. Giroud; M.H. Gleason; J.G. Zornberg This paper provides a method for designing anchor benches and trenches used to secure geomembranes exposed to wind action. Only the cases where anchorage is provided by gravity (i.e. by the weight of the material in the bench or trench) are considered...
