Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Walls and Slopes: Brazilian Perspectives
Publication: International Perspectives on Soil Reinforcement Applications
Abstract
This paper presents a summary of recent research results relative to soil reinforcement in Brazil. Initially the historical aspects of geosynthetic application in Brazil are presented and related to the current construction practice. Following, design parameters such as tensile strength, pullout and creep behavior are discussed in the light of the last researches. Finally developments in design methods which consider modern approaches of the interaction soil-inclusion and construction sequence and examples of history cases are presented.
