Abstract: | The aim of this article is to investigate the solution for the reinforcement of the walls of the saltpans of the Aveiro lagoon
by using geosynthetics. For that purpose literature research has been done to collect both the properties and the geometry
of the walls and of the soils. Simultaneously, methods for the design of reinforced soils using geosynthetics were collected,
particularly to allow the consideration of two types of backfill soil: granular and fine. So, two solutions for such walls
were studied using granular and fine soils, respectively. The design methods used were the ones proposed by: Jewell (1996) and Rogbeck et al. (2002) for granular soils and Naughton et al. (2001) for fine soils. Finally, the verification of the external stability of the profiles of a selected wall has been made using
the methodology described in Eurocode 7: EN1997-1: 2004. |
