POLYMER AND COMPOSITE-BASED GEOSYNTHETIC REINFORCEMENTS FOR SEISMIC STABILITY OF SOIL RETAINING STRUCTURES: MATERIALS, MECHANICS, AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Abstract: Geosynthetic materials based on polymer and composites have become important items for the structural performance and seismic resilience of the reinforced soil retaining systems. Mechanically stabilized earth walls in recent geotechnical engineering practice are increasingly based on enhanced polymeric reinforcements for enhanced tensile strength, durability, flexibility, and energy dissipation under dynamic loading. High-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and fiber-reinforced polymer composites are usually used. The present review focus on the recent …
