Plastic Limit Behavior of Reinforced Earth

Publication: Journal of Geotechnical Engineering
Volume 109, Issue 7

Abstract

Plastic behavior of soil that is uniformly reinforced by fibers is studied. This analysis considers reinforced earth as macroscopically anisotropic and homogeneous, and it describes its gross behavior based on a knowledge of the mechanical properties and interactive contribution of each component. The rigid plastic model of reinforced earth is developed and an application of the proposed model is given. Experimental results are given.
