Effect of soil grain size distribution on the mechanical damage of nonwoven geotextiles under repeated loading

Installation processes (which induce mechanical damage) may cause undesirable changes on the properties of geosynthetics, affecting their performance. This work evaluates the effect of mechanical damage on the short-term tensile behaviour of two nonwoven

ANALYSIS OF GEOTEXTILE EMBANKMENT BY ANSYS

Journal of Engineering, 2011
The major objectives of this research are to analyze the behavior of road embankments reinforced with geotextiles constructed on soft soil and describe the finite element analysis by using ANSYS program ver. (5.4). The ANSYS finite element program helps

Tensile and hydraulic properties of geosynthetics after mechanical damage and abrasion laboratory tests

, 2013
Installation damage of geosynthetics occurs during their handling, positioning on the ground and the placing and compacting of fill material. Abrasion is a common damage mechanism where there is cyclic relative motion (friction) between a geosynthetic ...

Effects of Permeable Geotextiles of Different Densities on Soil Cracking and Evaporation Behavior

Buildings
Geotextiles are a commonly used green material which can improve the water holding capacity of soil. However, the effects of density on evaporation and cracking of geotextile–soil composites are still unclear.

An evaluation of square footing response on lime-treated geotextile-reinforced silty sand: contrasting experimental and computational approaches

Frontiers in Built Environment
Improving soil strength and reducing the anticipated settlement and construction cost is a great paradox for civil as well as geotechnical engineers. In this paper, these aspects and other suitable types of ground improvement are discussed based on the ...
