Tutorial 14 - Geotextile Reinforced Ramp

In this tutorial, a ramp is constructed and its performance under loading is assessed. The model is created in four stages as follows:

1. Foundation soil layer is brought to equilibrium.

2. Fill is added on top of the soil interlayed with geotextile support layers. Precast concrete liners are added to support the fill.

3. The concrete road bed is constructed on top of the fill.

4. Load is applied to the road surface.
