Civil Engineering Research Journal- Juniper Publishers Introduction As the population increases, more infrastructure and housing facilities needed. To satisfy the need especially in highly dense cities, construction should be performed safely in anywhere, regardless steep-sloped areas, soft-grounds and near the bank of the river or sea-shore. There is no limit to build any structure for urbanization if it is necessary. Reinforcement is an important method for such kind of safe constructability. There are several methods for reinforcement that can be applied to soil itself or can be used with concrete structures. Reinforcement materials such as geosynthetics can supply effective soil improvement when necessary to avoid the failure mechanism. If the resistance of the deformation which is called as “stiffness” of soil is less, reinforced structure (reinforcement+soil) would be the solution. Usually the soil itself doesn’t have enough resistance to keep its form under pressure. Geosyn...
