Investigating Composite Behavior of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Mass
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Problem Statement Over the past two decades, Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil (GRS) structures, including retaining walls, slopes, embankments, roadways, and load-bearing foundations, have gained increasing popularity in the U.S. and abroad. In actual construction, GRS structures have demonstrated a number of distinct advantages over their conventional counterparts. GRS structures are generally more ductile, more flexible (hence more tolerant to differential settlement and to seismic loading), more adaptable to lowpermeability
backfill, easier to construct, require less over-excavation, and more
