Numerical Analysis of Soil–Steel Composite Structure Performance at Ultimate Load: Impact of Stiffening Ribs and Geotextile Reinforcement
Original research · free full-paper access · authors credited
Research overview
A two-dimensional finite-element study compares stiffening ribs and a geotextile layer in a buried soil–steel structure at ultimate load. The model reports a 26% capacity increase with one geotextile layer, but this is a numerical result for the selected geometry, constitutive models and failure criteria rather than field validation.
