Experimental and Numerical Studies of Geosynthetic-reinforced Clays and Silts under Environmental induced Swelling

Current design guidelines for reinforced soil walls and slopes recommend the use of granular soils such as gravels and sands as select fills. Cost savings could potentially be realized by using on-site clays and silts. Some clays are swelling and silts are frost susceptible. When considering the use...
