Recommendations for Design and Analysis of Earth Structures using Geosynthetic Reinforcements - EBGEO – Alan Johnson

The completely revised and extended Recommendations deal with all questions relevant to the planning and dimensioning of geosynthetics-reinforced earth structures. In addition to the demands on materials and analysis principles, the applications of geosynthetics in a range of foundation systems, ground improvement measures, highways engineering projects, in slopes and retaining structures, and in landfill engineering are discussed. The Recommendations have been supplemented by the following sections: – reinforced earth structures over point or linear bearing elements, – foundation systems using geotextile-encased columns, – bridging subsidence, – dynamic actions of geosynthetic-reinforced systems. The remaining sections have been fundamentally revised and updated in line with current standards and codes of practice.
