Optimized Design for Large Geotextile Mats over Soft Soil
In this paper, the failure mechanisms of large geotextile mats over soft soil are carried out through finite element analyses. A finite element model is generated and validated against centrifuge testing data and previously published data of numerical simulation. Parametric study is then carried out...

| description | In this paper, the failure mechanisms of large geotextile mats over soft soil are carried out through finite element analyses. A finite element model is generated and validated against centrifuge testing data and previously published data of numerical simulation. Parametric study is then carried out to investigate the geotextile tension distribution and the arrangement of crashed stone. Based on the parametric study, an optimized design considering the arrangement of rock berm and a special arrangement of large geotextiles was proposed to enhance the performance of the geotextile mats. The findings of this study can provide an engineering guidance for this new technique. |
