Stability Aspects of the Utilization of Geocell in Tunnel Pavement Construction

Performance of Bases Reinforced with Geocells and RAP under Cyclic Loading in a Physical Prototype

Roads with low traffic volume frequently experience premature distress due to construction over subgrades with low bearing capacity. In this context, geocell reinforcement combined with recycled materials such as Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) has emerged as a sustainable alternative to improve pavement performance....

Optimized Pavement Design for Enhanced Performance: Incorporating Geogrid and Geocell Reinforcements

Pavement design is a complex process requiring the integration of traffic loads, soil characteristics, and environmental conditions. This study investigates optimized pavement structures reinforced with geogrids and geocells to enhance durability, load-bearing capacity, and cost-efficiency. Analytical and multi-paramet...

Performance Assessment of Geocell-Reinforced Unpaved Roads Through Field Testing and Finite Element Modeling

New approach to determine the influence of geocells in drainage structures filled with concrete materials: Submerged abrasion test

Concrete-filled geocells have been increasingly used in hydraulic and erosion-control works; however, their performance is still commonly evaluated using methods developed for monolithic concrete, which do not account for the contribution of geosynthetic confinement. This study presents a performance- based evaluation...

Deformation Characteristics and Potential for Rationalized Design of Geosynthetics-Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls with Rigid Facing

Geosynthetics-reinforced soil retaining walls with rigid facing (GRS-RWs) have been widely adopted in railway infrastructure in Japan. The current design methodology integrates mechanically based stability and deformation analyses with empirically determined structural details. To extend their application to non-railwa...

Finite element modeling of an unpaved road reinforced with cellular geosynthetic reinforcements under full-scale traffic loading

Unpaved roads, widely used in rural areas with low traffic volumes, are particularly vulnerable to rutting under heavy vehicle loads, especially when constructed over soft subgrades. Incorporating geosynthetic reinforcement within the aggregate base layer has proven to be an effective solution to mitigate such deformat...
