Proposed Design Graphs of Geotextile Reinforcement on Soft Clay under Various Field Conditions
Abstract: This paper describes
the behavior of reinforced embankments constructed on soft clay subgrade with
varying compressible depths, embankment slopes and embankment heights. The
stability of the embankment is evaluated using the Bishop method. The
resistance moment and the numbers of geotextiles required are examined. It is
shown that varying the subgrade and embankment can significantly affect the
embankment stability and also the number of reinforcements. It requires a lot
of time to design embankment reinforcements, especially when the length of the
embankment is tens of kilometers. The main aim of this study is to develop
graphs to assist in designing the number of geotextile reinforcements. This
paper proposes design graphs to support engineers and designers to determine
the required geotextile reinforcements for embankments.
