EFFICIENCY OF THE USE OF PLAIN GEOGRIDS WITH METAL CORES IN THE STRUCTURES OF REINFORCED GROUND ROAD EMBANKMENTS
The authors considered the issues of reinforcement of embankments by high-strength geosynthetic materials. It is suggested to use flat geogrid with metal cores as a reinforcement material for constructing reinforced ground supporting walls on automobile and railway roads. The results of calculations of the volumes of horizontal displacements of the front parts of supporting walls are offered. They were obtained as a result of numerical modeling using finite element method.
