Geosynthetic-reinforced embankments on soft soils : numerical analysis of the strain mobilization in the reinforcement at failure, service condition and staged construction

In this dissertation, the behavior of geosynthetic reinforced embankments constructed on soft cohesive foundations under undrained and partially drained conditions is examined by conducting a rigorous numerical analysis using the finite element method for some particular case studies. Special attent...
