EARTHEN STRUCTURES FOR TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES IN MINING AREAS REINFORCED WITH GEOSYNTHETICS
The study shall present the rudiments of designing and forming of earthen structures for transportation purposes on ground with poor load capacity, mainly in mining areas. Main types of retaining structures, steep slopes, and embankments reinforced using the technology of reinforced soil will be presented. The mechanism of functioning of those structures will be presented, with additional use of geosynthetic reinforcement within the road surfaces and railway track structures, especially in the areas where continuous (subsiding troughs) and non-continuous (collapses, fissures) mining damage occurs. The basic selection criteria of soil material, reinforcement, and erosion-preventing structures will be presented The study contains basic principles for making check calculations of critical load capacity conditions and usability of structures for their assumed service life. Specific and executed structures will be presented, including high embankments for motorways (highways) and railway embankments, located in the areas that are subject to intense mining activity influence.
