Effects of Reinforcing Elements in Soil Reinforcement

  1. Surendra Roy

Abstract

The inclusion of reinforcing elements in a soil mass improves its geotechnical properties. The principle behind soil reinforcement is that the reinforcing elements absorb the tensile load and shear stress within the reinforced structures and hence prevent the shear failure and settlement. The friction developed between the interface of soil and reinforcing element improves the properties of soil. Different types of natural and synthetic fibers have been used in various types of civil engineering structures as soil reinforcing elements. Geotextile, geogrid and geocell reinforcements have also been used in different infrastructure projects. The studies carried out by the various researchers using natural and synthetic fibers, geotextile,geogrid, and geocellas soil reinforcing elements have been explained in this paper. Keywords: Soil reinforcement, natural fiber, synthetic fiber, geotextile, geogrid, geocell
