Influence of Geogrid-Geotextile Reinforcement on Field-Derived Soil-Water Characteristic Curves and Climate-Driven Moisture Dynamics of Compacted Clay Slopes
Original research · free full-paper access · authors credited
Research overview
Compares one reinforced and one unreinforced outdoor reduced-scale clay slope using moisture and suction monitoring. The reinforced model retained more water across the reliable suction range and showed smaller median rainfall responses, but the unreplicated setup and absence of mechanical measurements do not establish improved slope stability. The SCS Engineers co-author is an environmental engineering consultant, not a product-supplier author.
