This paper presents results from physical model tests on the bearing capacity of a geogrid- reinforced foundation using transparent granular soil. The transparent soil was a mixture of quartz sand and mineral oil with the same refractive index. A polyethylene net was used as a surrogate geogrid in the reduced-scale mod...

Geosynthetic reinforcement materials are known to be load-, strain-, time- and temperature- dependent. Under operational conditions in reinforced soil structures, these materials can be expected to creep to different degrees depending on their structure, method of manufacture and constituent polymer type. Recently, the...

The evaluation of carbon footprint is quickly becoming a requirement for decision-making processes of infrastructure projects. Nevertheless, as described by the latest European standards and ISO guidelines, proper sustainability assessments must not only include environmental considerations (e.g., carbon footprint), bu...
