The smooth surface texture of the commercially available geogrids limits the shear strength
mobilization at the interfaces. This study presents the design, manufacturing, and interface …

The effective interaction mechanisms in the pullout resistance of reinforcements include skin
friction mobilized at the soil-solid surface, soil-soil shear resistance, and compressive …

Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls have become more popular among the existing
options for implementing retaining walls worldwide. Specifically, geotextiles have been used …

Performing tests on geosynthetic-reinforced soils under pullout conditions gives a
comprehensive understanding of soil-geosynthetic interaction. However, they may be …

Reinforcement geometry has a major effect on design parameters and stability control of
reinforced soil structures. Geosynthetic with varying dimensions may be of interest from both …

In recent years, the application of geogrid in reinforced soil structures, including
mechanically stabilized earth walls, has remarkably increased. In earthen structures …

The use of geogrid as an extensible material in the soil reinforcement has increased
significantly; moreover, its effects on the efficiency of soil reinforcement are essential for the …

Optimization of reinforcement geometry interacting with the soil is important from both
technical and economical viewpoints. Varying width along the geosynthetic strip may have a …

Steel grid is an effective reinforcement material for improving weak foundations and it is
necessary to conduct in-depth research on its mechanism. Finite-discrete coupling method …
