... friction angle at the interface as the soil itself. The assumption of perfect bonding (δ_s,r = 1) between the soil and geogrid interface was adopted in the numerical analysis, consistent with Rowe and Ho (1998) , and supported by the dense sand backfill and high confinement stresses developed...

... that, at higher density, a larger volume of soil mass has participated in sharing the anchor load, leading to the enhanced performance of the system. Numerical analysis using the computer program Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua was carried out. The computed results were found to be in good agreement...

... obtained from the model tests for reinforced groups of two to four anchor plates can be conveniently used to extrapolate the uplift capacity of multiple anchor plate systems in a reinforced soil mass. The model test results show a reasonably good agreement with the three-dimensional (3D) numerical analysis...

...Y.-S. Hong ABSTRACT: This numerical study investigates the behaviour of geosynthetic-encased sand columns. Based on an elastic-plastic constitutive model used with the non-associated flow rule, the prominent expansive behaviour of medium to dense sands is characterised. Numerical analysis results...
