Geogrids under dynamic loading
14 February 2006 | By Helmut Zanzinger, SKZ-TeConA GmbH, Würzburg, Germany
The bearing performance of railway embankments on soft ground can be improved by high strength geosynthetic reinforcement products. Under operating conditions, the reinforcement is submitted to static and dynamic forces. The geosynthetic reinforcement products are made out of polymer materials, which show visco-elastic behaviour. Their long term deformation and strength…
