    • Comparison of geosynthetic reinforced soil wall solutions using analytical design methods and numerical modelling 

      Moncada Ramírez, Aníbal Andrés; Puig Damians, Ivan; Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià; Bathurst, Richard John (2023)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      European 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 ...

    • Coupled modelling of environmental in-soil conditions and their effects over polyester straps reinforced soil structures 

      Moncada Ramírez, Aníbal Andrés; Puig Damians, Ivan; Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià; Bathurst, Richard John (2022)
      Conference lecture
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Polyester (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 

      Moncada Ramírez, Aníbal Andrés; Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià; Puig Damians, Ivan; Bathurst, Richard John (CRC Press, 2024)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      A 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 ...

    • Life cycle assessment of geosynthetic reinforced soil structures: software comparison 

      Moncada Ramírez, Aníbal Andrés; Malekmohammadi, Khashayar; Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià; Puig Damians, Ivan; Bathurst, Richard John (Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS), 2024)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      The evaluation of environmental impacts of geotechnical structures is as relevant as economic and technical requirements, all of which are part of a proper sustainability assessment. A common method to quantify the ...

    • Modelling the effect of in-soil temperature and relative humidity on performance of PET strap soil reinforcement products 

      Moncada Ramírez, Aníbal Andrés; Puig Damians, Ivan; Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià; Bathurst, Richard John (2021)
      Conference lecture
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Polyester (PET) strap reinforcement materials are now used routinely as soil reinforcement for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. Strength and stiffness of the polyester fibres can be expected to decrease with ...

    • Short-term thermo-mechanical numerical modelling of reinforced soil walls with polyester strap reinforcements 

      Moncada Ramírez, Aníbal Andrés; Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià; Puig Damians, Ivan; Bathurst, Richard John (CRC Press, 2023)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      Polyester (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 

      Cañas Pineda, Abercio; Moncada Ramírez, Aníbal Andrés; Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià; Puig Damians, Ivan; Bathurst, Richard John (CRC Press, 2023)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      Reinforced 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 

      Moncada Ramírez, Aníbal Andrés; Puig Damians, Ivan; Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià; Bathurst, Richard John (2024)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Reinforced 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 

      Moncada Ramírez, Aníbal Andrés; Puig Damians, Ivan; Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià; Bathurst, Richard John (2023)
      Conference lecture
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      The 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 ...
