...J.P. Giroud; J. Han; E. Tutumluer; M.J.D. Dobie This paper addresses unpaved and paved roads improved with geosynthetics, such as geotextiles, geogrids and geocells. The paper examines the mechanisms associated with the use of geosynthetics to improve roads, describes the principles of the design...

...J. O. Avesani Neto; B. S. Bueno; M. M. Futai This study addressed the analysis of geocells as basal reinforcement for embankments on soft soils. The equation proposed for this application is based on a previously developed method for predicting the bearing capacity of geocell-reinforced soils...

...S. K. Dash; K. Rajagopal; N. R. Krishnaswamy This paper presents the results of laboratory model tests carried out to study the relative performance of different forms of reinforcement (i.e. geocell, planar and randomly distributed mesh elements) in sand beds under strip loading. The results...
