Modelling of geosynthetic reinforcement in soil retaining walls
The paper is focused on the behaviour of geosynthetic reinforcement layers in the active and anchorage zones of soil retaining walls. Differential equations that describe the reinforcement layer force/stress distribution, while embedded in soil, are derived for both elastic and visco-elastic reinforcement layers. The solutions to these differential equations provide a simple method of analysing the following phenomena: reinforcement pull-out, the influence of wall facing flexibility on the distribution of forces in the reinforcement, and stress relaxation in reinforcement layers that exhibit creep behaviour. Practical examples are used to illustrate the influence of parameter values on model predictions.
