The Behaviour of Embankment with Non-uniform Geotextiles Reinforcement on Soft Soil

摘要

A new design of geotextile sandbag embankment, named non-uniform geotextiles reinforcement, is proposed in this study. This proposed design optimizes the arrangement of geotextiles in the traditional design to increase the strength of the embankment base to improve its stability. The behaviour of the reinforced embankments is investigated using finite-element modelling. The advantages of this new design are elaborated via comparison with the traditional design. A design framework of the construction of the embankments is established based on a parametric study.
