Geosynthetics for sustainable cities: 3D numerical models and mechanical damage Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Geotechnical works play a major role on the infrastructure development. Geosynthetics are the most efficient, cost-effective and environmentally- friendly solution to a variety of geotechnical structures (e.g., roadways, foundations, retaining walls). Thus, improving the design methods of geosynthetics can increase safety and reduce infrastructure costs (GDS goal 9).

Improve the existing models with nonlinear & time- dependent constitutive models
