Abstract
The authors are investigating geosynthetic soil reinforcement techniques for the construction of emergency and restoration of damaged geostructures in the event of disasters. This paper discusses a geocell reinforcement technique for restoring embankments damaged by hydraulic action. A restoring technique to combine geocell reinforcements and horizontal drainage pipes is proposed. A layout concept of geocell reinforced units is discussed based on the results of the seepage model test of an unreinforced embankment. The results of the seepage model test conducted to verify the proposed technique are presented. It is clarified that the model embankment constructed with the proposed technique showed sufficient stability.
