Book Description
Reinforced earth consists of a soil mass whose engineering characteristics and performance have been improved by the introduction of small quantities of frictional material that processes a relatively high tensile strength. The analysis of a reinforced earth system which incorporates metal strips placed at known intervals in the vertical and transverse directions within the soil mass is a complex problem. The complexity arises from the fact that reinforced earth is a three-dimensional problem and cannot be solved without imposing simplification with regard to the mechanical behavior of the system as well as the constitutive relationship governing the interaction between various components of the reinforced earth mass. The investigation reported herein describes a simplified approach for analyzing the instrumented reinforced earth wall which was previously constructed and loaded to failure at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. The three-dimensional problem was approximated by a structurally equivalent two-dimensional system and a two-dimensional finite element method was used in the analysis. The nonlinear behavior of the earth fill of the reinforced earth wall was simulated by hyperbolic formulation. The behavior of the metal skin element and reinforcing strips was assumed linear elastic until the yield stress was reached; thereafter, these metal components were assumed to fail plastically. Interface elements, to accommodate slippage between components of the reinforced earth wall, were also employed in the analysis. (Author).

Book Description
Earth Reinforcement and Soil Structures provides a coverage of the basic aspects of reinforced soil. The book is comprised of 12 chapters that cover the theoretical elements up to the practical applications. The first two chapters provide the introduction and historical review of the subject of reinforced soil. The third chapter presents a catalogue of some of the application areas for the use of earth reinforcement, while the fourth chapter covers the theoretical concepts. The next six chapters deal with the practical aspects of earth reinforcements, such as design, construction, costs, and durability. The remaining two chapters provide some worked examples and discuss the developments in earth reinforcement, respectively. The text will be of great use to undergraduate students of civil engineering and other related fields.
