Recommendations for Design and Analysis of Earth Structures using Geosynthetic Reinforcements – EBGEO

The completely revised and extended Recommendations deal with all questions relevant to the planning and dimensioning of geosynthetics-reinforced earth structures. In addition to the demands on materials and analysis principles, the applications of geosynthetics in a range of foundation systems, ground improvement measures, highways engineering projects, in slopes and retaining structures, and in landfill engineering are discussed.<br> <br> The Recommendations have been supplemented by the following sections:<br> – reinforced earth structures over point or linear bearing elements,<br> – foundation systems using geotextile-encased columns,<br> – bridging subsidence,<br> – dynamic actions of geosynthetic-reinforced systems.<br> <br> The remaining sections have been fundamentally revised and updated in line with current standards and codes of practice.<br> <br> <br>
