Design and Analysis of GeoWall Based on the ASCE Student Competition
Publication: Advances in Soil Dynamics and Foundation Engineering
Abstract
GeoWall - a reinforced retaining wall - is a common structure in the field of civil engineering. It is often applied in highway and railway projects. In the United States, the GeoWall competition is quite an important part of the ASCE student conference competition. In this competition, the structure of GeoWall is simplified as a model consisting of post-board paper face, kraft paper reinforcements and sand in a box. By participating in such games, students could learn more about GeoWall structure and gain their own thoughts towards the calculation assumptions and methods which would even be applied in real construction cases. In this paper, the author would combine the competition experience to expatiate the design assumption, method and experience and make a further analysis combined with soil mechanics and real engineering projects.
