Using geosynthetic reinforcement to reinforce a pre-cast foundation wall
Using geosynthetic reinforcement to reinforce a pre-cast foundation wall
(OP)
I have a client that approached me asking if I could perform a design to reinforce the soil acting on a pre-cast foundation wall using a geogrid product. I believe this can work, however, I have no experience in designing just stabilized soils as I do primarily segmental retaining wall designs. I've been trying to do some research into what would be the best method of design for this situation. I've looked at stabilized soft soils, reinforced soil slope and even just considered performing the internal stability calculations and treating the foundation wall as a retaining wall. Any advise you could give on where I should start would be greatly appreciated.
