Soilbags, Donow in Japanese, have been commonly used as temporary
structures, rather than as real earth reinforcement construction
parts, because of their rapid deterioration on prolonged exposure
to sunlight. The amazing bearing capacity of soilbags has, however,
initiated the development of a novel and effective earth
reinforcement method in which the bearing capacity of soft
foundations can be greatly improved. The bearing load of
quality-controlled soilbags can reach 10% of that of concrete, and
their durability as a semi-permanent material can exceed 50 years,
provided that direct exposure to sunlight and ultra-violet rays is
avoided. A New Earth Reinforcement Method Using Soilbags covers the
development, properties and characteristics of soilbags, as well as
design features of structures built with soilbags. The geotechnical
applications of this method in railway ballast foundation
reinforcement, soft building foundation reinforcement and retaining
wall and embankment constructions are extensively described and
richly illustrated by reference to case studies from Japan. the
method in earth reinforcement and civil engineering construction in
other countries. Developing countries may have particular interest
in the soilbag method as an effective and economical alternative
for conventional earth reinforcement techniques. This volume is
intended for geotechnical and foundation engineers and other
professionals working on earth reinforcement. It may serve as a
supplementary information source on earth reinforcement for
graduate students in soil mechanics and foundation engineering.
