Geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining walls (GRS RWs) have been constructed for a total
length of about 150 km as of June 2013 mainly for railways, including high-speed train lines …

This study analyses two full-scale model tests on mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls.
One test was conducted with a rigid and one with a flexible wall face. Other parameters were …

To evaluate the effects of ambient temperature history on the load-strain-time behaviour, a
series of tensile tests were performed on three geogrid types. The applied loading and …

An automated tensile loading system that can accurately control histories of both loading
and temperature was developed. A series of unconventional tensile loading tests were …

Evaluation of creep behaviour of polymer geosynthetic reinforcement is important for
predicting the long-term performance of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) structures and …

The inelastic strain characteristics of geomaterial are analysed in the framework of a
nonlinear three-component model while based on a number of laboratory stress-strain test …

A non-linear three-component model has been developed that can predict the strength and
deformation of polymer geosynthetic reinforcement when subjected to arbitrary histories of …

Two tall geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) walls, one 16.7 m high supporting a sloped
embankment, and the other 21.1 m high with a level backfill, were constructed to support the …

The construction of permanent geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) retaining walls (RWs) with
a full-height rigid facing for railways, including high-speed train lines, and also highways …

The viscous properties of three types of geogrid polymer were evaluated by sustained
loading tests lasting for 30 days at a load level about a half of its nominal rupture strength …
