Continuing on from the first edition in 1997 these EBGEO recommendations employ the partial safety factor concept. In addition to analysis and verification fundamentals and the demands placed on construction materials (ground, geosynthetics) several sections deal with the various applications: embankments on soft soils, reinforced foundation pads, transport routes, retaining structures, landfill engineering (reinforcement of parallel surface stratified systems), reinforced earth structures over point or linear bearing elements, foundation systems using geotextile encased columns, overbridging sytems in areas prone to subsidence, dynamic actions on geosynthetic reinforced systems.'--p. 4 of cover ER -
