Abstract

Mechanical properties of mechanically stabilized earth structures depend on the mechanical parameters of the fill material, tensile strength of reinforcement elements, and the interface properties of the geosynthetic and the fill material (Ouria and Mahmoudi, 2018). Optimal design of reinforced earth systems demands for a pullout capacity of reinforcements proportional to their tensile strength (Ouria et al., 2019) (Ouria et al., 2021) (Ouria et al., 2022). That is why the utilization of high strength reinforcements in reinforced earth structures has not been developed extensively. Anchorage of high strength reinforcements requires long anchorage length of mechanically anchored ends. On the other hand, rapid development of societies requires renewal of several structures and substructures (Ouria et al., 2020)(Ouria and Heidarly, 2021)(Ouria and Sadeghpour, 2022). The replacement of existing substructures requires new materials and also produces demolition waste material in large quantities (Vieira and Pereira, 2015). The huge rate of the production of demolition waste material in the recent years raised concerns about the harmful impacts of these material in the environment (Savadkoohi and Reisi, 2020). Recycling of these waste material and their utilization in new projects could be proper step in response to the raised concerns. In this study the applicability of demolition waste material in the reinforced soil structures was investigated in the laboratory.
