Abstract
A series of centrifuge tests was conducted on the stabilizing effect of woven sheet reinforcement under an embankment resting on normally consolidated clay for various ratios of the depth of the clay to the embankment width. The experimental results were presented mainly in view of time dependent behavior of the reinforcement, and compared with FEM analysis. Bearing capacity analysis using stress characteristic method was also conducted to examine the reinforcing effect to be viewed by the increase in inward shear stresses developed along the sheet.
