Description
A comprehensive design manual by an international authority on reinforced soil analysis. Geotextiles and related products are providing new and cost-effective ways to design and construct earth structures and to repair the slopes of older ones. This publication is a valuable source of guidance for geotechnical, structural and highway engineers, construction and environmental professionals, and local authorities. Based on a review of international knowledge and practice, it explains geotextile systems of reinforcement and how the material properties and those of the products affect their performance. Separate chapters review the engineering approach to reinforced soil behaviour, soil strength and bearing capacity, and the selection of design values and safety margins. The design guidance is supported by worked examples and design charts.
