Abstract
The chairman, Rowe, began the session by posing a number of questions that require answers when considering analysis and design and which the various speakers would address during the session. They included the following:
-
1.
Should we be trying to estimate deformations using limit equilibrium analyses?
-
2.
What is the effect of reinforcement extensibility?
-
3.
Is strain-softening of the soils important?
-
4.
How valid is it to find the level of reinforcement required without considering the interaction between it and the soil?
-
5.
What is the Factor of Safety in our designs?
-
6.
How does one account for construction technique in design?
-
7.
How useful is the finite element method in analysis of reinforced soil?
-
8.
Are any of the existing analytical methods providing the needed answers?
