Usichenko E. Model and a method of designing geosynthetic reinforced retaining structures on automobile roads

The dissertation is devoted to the development of a method of calculation of internal stability of different types of geosynthetic reinforced retaining walls on highways in view of influence of reduction in ground active pressure due to introduction of geosynthetic layers. The technique of definition of geosynthetical reinforcement tension distributions is proved and developed at two models of behavior of geosynthetic reinforcing retaining walls taking into account the additional loading on an earth surface, a technique of definition of layers length in a motionless part of an earth file and lengths of geosynthetic holders. The developed mathematical models prove to be true by the results of experimental natural researches. The technique of experimental definition of characteristics of reinforced layers is proved. Results of industrial approbation are resulted.
