Effects of structure type on viscoelastic properties of geosynthetics
This work presents a study on tensile properties of geosynthetic materials. There were investigated six samples of geofabrics and geogrids with different structures including woven geotextile fabrics, nonwoven geotextile fabrics, warp-knitted geogrids ...

An assessment of the geometry effect of geosynthetics for base course reinforcements
Geosynthetic-reinforced base course is potentially a cost-effective solution for flexible pavement construction. With the recent advance in the mechanistic-empirical pavement design in the United States, there is a need to develop the next generation ...

Frictional characteristics of geosynthetic–geosynthetic and geosynthetic–soil interfaces determined by the inclined plane apparatus [PDF]
Abstract The problem of managing the unneeded and unusable materials is a serious challenge for modern societies. The progress of civilization is accompanied by an increase of the human population. This results in a constant increase of waste production. An average EU citizen generates over 500 kg of municipal waste per year, of which less than one

A Bio-Wicking System to Mitigate Capillary Water in Base Course [PDF]
Water within pavement layers is the major cause of pavement deteriorations. High water content results in significant reduction in soil’s resilient behavior and increase in permanent deformation. Conventional drainage systems can only drain gravity water

The rapid increase in the global population has intensified the need for residential areas and civil infrastructure, ultimately leading to construction in areas with less desirable geological conditions. This underscores the necessity for soil improvement. With increasing public concern for environmental issues and the urgent goal of achieving net‐zero

Design and construction aspects of a geocomposite drainage system in a dam [PDF]
The drainage system of a dam depends mainly of the available granular material founded near the dam site and it’s quantities. In some cases, the use of natural granular materials can reach an impracticable cost considering the transportation and the ...

Abstract The Giant Mine (1948–1999) generated 16 Mt of Au‐bearing mill tailings (2800 mg kg−1) originating from a mixture of flotation tailings (84.8 wt%), calcine residues (14.4 wt.%), and arsenic trioxide roaster waste (0.8 wt.%). A water treatment system for high As mine dewatering effluent has operated since the end of mine operations, with the ...
