Design optimization of geosynthetic reinforced embankments over soft foundations
AbstractGeosynthetics are being increasingly used to provide reinforcement for soil structures. A particular class of these soil structures can be termed embankments over soft soils, where a single layer (or multiple layers) of a geosynthetic is placed at the interface of the in-situ soft soil and the overlying fill material. While a great deal of consideration is given to the soil parameters and geosynthetic properties during the stability analysis of an embankment, many times an insufficient amount of effort is devoted to finding a cost-effective solution. Analyzing a range of embankment design options can facilitate a project specific design rather than a product specific design, and result in great over all project cost savings. This paper will outline a procedure for focusing on the most cost-effective solution to an embankment constructed over a soft soil.
