... F* is the pullout resistance factor; α is the stress distribution correction factor; σ ′ v is the effective vertical stress at soil–reinforcement interface (kPa); L_e is the reinforcement anchorage length, m and C...

...M. R. Madhav; B. Umashankar Geosynthetic materials used to reinforce earth fills, ground and slopes resist the destabilising forces by mobilising tensile forces in the reinforcement. In most studies, only the pullout resistance due to axial pull is considered in stability analysis. However...

...S. R. Lo It was observed that the pullout resistance factor of strap-type geosynthetic reinforcement increases with reduction in overburden stress, despite the interface friction angle of these reinforcements being less than that of the surrounding soil. This observation was investigated...
