Experimental and Analytical Studies of Geo-Composite Applications in Soil Reinforcement

The main weakness of soil is its inability to resist tensile stresses. Civil engineers have been trying to address this problem for decades. To increase the tensile and shear strengths of soil, different methods of reinforcing such as using geosynthetics have been used in different types of earth st...
