EFFECTS OF REINFORCEMENT AND SOIL VISCOSITY ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF EMBANKMENTS OVER SOFT SOIL

A verified elasto-viscoplastic finite element model is used to develop a better understanding of the performance of embankments with geosynthetic reinforcement constructed over rate-sensitive soil. The interaction between reinforcement and prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) and their effects on ti...
