Introduction of high-strength geosynthetic materials has allowed for construction on heretofore impossible sites. Saturated, fine-grained soils with in-situ unconsolidates-undrained strengths as low as 1.0 kPa (20.8 lb/sq ft) have been successfully used for embankment foundations using geotextiles or geogrids for direct ground support. When rapid consolidation of the subsoil is desirable, the procedure sometimes calls for insertion of strip (wick) drains and, for lateral flow, drainage geocomposites as well. This paper reviews and summarized a number of soft-soil stabilization projects. Drawing from these experiences, a five-part design method is presented to select and size the various goesynthetic material properties involved. Keywords: Dikes; Dredged material disposal areas or containment; Soft foundations; Slope stability analysis; Geosynthetics; Geotextile.
Geosynthetic materials have entered the mainstream in the professional arena and are no longer considered new construction material. Professionals need to keep up with the nuances of how geosynthetics work. Emphasizes design by function; overviews all types of geosynthetics, with stand-alone units on particular materials. Uses S.I. units for all problems and examples. Expands coverage of containers and tubes in the geotextile chapter. Discusses walls and slope design, including seismic analysis, in the geogrid chapter. Treats wet landfills, agricultural waste, waste stability, and dam waterproofing in the geomembrane chapter. Discusses new products and related performances in the geosynthetic clay liner chapter. Discusses new products and related behavior, including fiber reinforcement and wall drainage, in the geocomposite chapter. Adds a completely new chapter on geofoam. A useful reference for transportation, geotechnical, environmental, and hydraulics professionals and engineers.
