Abstract
Semi-rigid inclusions are installed in the soil for the purpose of enhancing the global modulus of an otherwise weak soil and is a widely accepted ground improvement technique across the world. The computation of tension load on the geosynthetic layer depends on: There are several methods published and practiced in the design of geosynthetic reinforcement by engineers. In the estimation of tensile load and strain induced in the geosynthetic layer, BS8006 considers the following: With no support from the subsoil being considered, thereby considering vertical equilibrium the load component B is calculated, thus the uniformly distributed line load is estimated. Often, where ground treatment with semi-rigid inclusions are proposed, the upper soil layers are weak, consists of clayey soils. The load transfer platform (LTP) is reinforced with a geosynthetic layer and the load transfer mechanism is the key in the derivation of the load shared by the geosynthetic reinforcement and critical in the design of LTP.
