Model of interaction between geosynthetic strip and unbound soil in reinforced earth structures : doctoral thesis

Knowledge of the mechanism of interaction between the soil and the reinforcement element is
crucial for the design of reinforced soil structures. It depends on the type of the reinforcing
element and the soil that is used. The majority of previous research studied the mechanism of
interaction either between the metal strip or nets, or else geosynthetic nets or geotextile and
soil, while a smal…
