Comparison of geosynthetic reinforced soil wall solutions using analytical design methods and numerical modelling
(2023)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyEuropean design standard (prEN-1997 202x) permits the use of suitably verified numerical models for the design of reinforced soil walls (RSW). The paper first compares three analytical design method outcomes (Coherent ... -
Concrete arches and reinforced soil: a sustainable alternative structure for road bridges
(CRC Press, 2024)
Conference report
Open AccessRoad bridges are necessary infrastructures for transportation. As such, they are subject to thorough scrutiny for their environmental, social, and economic impacts. An adequate substantiality assessment applied to bridge ... -
Coupled modelling of environmental in-soil conditions and their effects over polyester straps reinforced soil structures
(2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyPolyester (PET) strap reinforcement materials are being routinely used as soil reinforcement for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. Strength and stiffness of the polyester fibres can be expected to decrease with ... -
Impact of transport distance in life cycle assessments of geosynthetic reinforced soil walls
(CRC Press, 2024)
Conference report
Open AccessA prevailing methodology to evaluate the environmental impact and subsequent sustainability assessment of structures is the life cycle assessment (LCA). In civil engineering, LCA methodologies allow for the quantification ... -
Influence of numerical model mesh properties on predicted in soil temperature, relative humidity and degree of saturation of reinforced soil structures
(2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyGeosynthetic materials are routinely used in soil reinforcement and stabilization applications. They have proven to be an important part of the sustainable solution for reinforced soil walls (RSWs). For RSW constructed ... -

(Australian Geomechanics Society, 2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyPolyester (PET) strap reinforcement materials are now used routinely as soil reinforcement for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. The important role of temperature and relative humidity on the chemical degradation ... -
Physical and 3D numerical modelling of reinforcements pullout test
(Springer, 2024-03)
Article
Open AccessThis paper reports results of laboratory and 3D numerical modeled pull-out tests with steel ladders and polymeric strip reinforcements. These types of reinforcement are commonly used in reinforced soil walls constructed ... -
Short-term thermo-mechanical numerical modelling of reinforced soil walls with polyester strap reinforcements
(CRC Press, 2023)
Conference lecture
Open AccessPolyester (PET) materials have become more common as reinforcement solution in reinforced soil walls (RSW). It has been shown that strength and stiffness of geosynthetics products, including PET, is load-, time-, and ... -
Simplified approach to analyse global stability of reinforced soil walls
(CRC Press, 2023)
Conference lecture
Open AccessReinforced soil walls (RSW) are a proven alternative to conventional earth retaining structures due to their rapid construction, smaller environmental impact, lower cost, as well as more sustainable social/functional ... -
Simulating soil reinforcement interaction using CODE_BRIGHT
(2024)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyReinforced soil structures (RSS) involve a compacted soil mass with embedded elements, orthogonal to the main stress direction, which act as load bearing components. The compound nature of RSS requires a proper characterization ... -
Strength reduction analysis in polymeric reinforced soil walls
(2023)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe latest revision of EN-1997 allows for the use of numerical tools to design geotechnical structures, provided limit state conditions are thoroughly evaluated were analysis of the construction and post-construction stages ... -
Thermo-hydraulic numerical modelling of in-soil conditions in reinforced soil walls
(2023-08)
Article
Open AccessThe role of temperature and relative humidity on long-term mechanical and chemical degradation of polyester fibres due to hydrolysis and creep is well documented. This study presents the results of a thermo-hydraulic 2D ... -
Thermo-hydro-mechanical viscoplastic constitutive model for polyester strap reinforcement long-term response
(Elsevier, 2024-11)
Article
Open AccessPolymeric materials have been shown to be rate-dependent materials, that is, their response will vary depending on the conditions to which they are subjected. The present work details the formulation, validation and ...
