Mechanism of reinforcement from two field trials
Abstract
The finite element method is used to simulate the behaviour of two field trials reinforced soil wall models, one reinforced with non woven geotextile, the other with woven geotextile. The experimental results shown the specific behaviour of this kind of structure : Until 2/3 of failure load, the displacements occured were very small. To explain these specific Caracteristics, simulations were carried out, taking into consideration the state of great strains below the loading slab and the compacting effect.
