Maccaferri’s ‘reinforced soil’ systems are at the forefront in stabilising steep slopes, and offer a long lifespan, competitive costs, and high degree of adaptability to most geotechnical contexts.
Kolay et al. (2013) studied a footing placed on double-layer soil to find the load-settlement for reinforced and unreinforced soils and noticed that the increment of load-bearing capacity is dependent ...
Finally, energy dissipation models have been proposed to analyze the stability of steep reinforced slopes. These models account for the interaction between nails and soil, offering a more accurate ...
