Abstract

Although there is already a significant and consolidated experience by the technical community responsible for highway infrastructure projects, which includes large and important projects implemented with different geosynthetic solutions, there are still gaps in knowledge that can be better answered. Two of these gaps are highlighted in this paper: the most appropriate tools and methodologies for geosynthetic modeling analysis and the most relevant parameters of these materials to be considered. The objective of this study is to present these kinds of solutions, including geogrids, geotextiles and geocomposites, highlighting their geotechnical approach. In addition, the relevant factors in the design and dimensioning of these applications will be highlighted, including calculation assumptions, analysis methods with limit equilibrium (Slide) and stress-strain (RS2 and RS3) numerical models. Finally, the article points out some of the most current technical reflections in the context of the subject in question, the design and implementation of highway structures.
