The issue of optimizing reinforcing factors in stabilization of the stone slopes has constantly been of interest to geo-technique and geo-mechanic researchers due to great expenses of such operations, and instability and slides of these slopes owing to lack of enough reinforcement. In this study, are investigated the numerical and schematic role of stone in reinforcement of coastal embankments. Thereby, sample reinforced and non-reinforced embankments are modeled, and their function is compared under the same loading, thus settlements are an indicator of instability. The comparison of two embankments proves that critical displacement in reinforced embankments occurs less and in a larger distance from surface. In general, stone columns reduce function of displacement through dispersing stress and expansion of failure wedge. The results revealed that reinforcement of embankment reduces vertical displacement (39%) and horizontal displacement (56%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
