Geosynthetics are the most efficient, cost-effective and environmentally- friendly solution to a variety of geotechnical structures (e.g., roadways, foundations, retaining walls). Thus, improving the design methods of geosynthetics can increase safety and reduce infrastructure costs (GDS goal 9).Verify if constitutive models and parameters replicate the response of real structures. Improve the existing models with nonlinear & time- dependent constitutive modelsengIn-isolation tensile testsTriaxial tests of damaged and undamaged samplesconference object
