Abstract: A series of reinforced soil beams with varying reinforcements were tested to study the improvement in the flexural characteristics of soil beams. A small percentage of reinforcement in the form of metallic strips is observed ...

Abstract: Bearing capacity tests on model footings on sand subgrades reinforced with galvanized rods placed vertically in the subgrade have shown beneficial effects of the reinforcements. The improvement compares favorably with the ...

Abstract: To investigate the flexural behavior of reinforced soil beams, tests were performed on rectangular and trapezoidal soil beams of varying span to depth ratios and varying amounts of reinforcements. Local silty clay was used ...
