Design of geocells reinforced soil structures through a homogenization method and a finite difference method: Comparison and charts
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to compare two different methods of stability analysis developped for a new type of retaining wall reinforced with a three dimensionnal hexagonal shape geotextile. In order to explain the effect of geocells as a reinforcing member and the mechanism of confinement, a two blocks method using a theory that defines an equivalent homogeneous material is proposed.
