Seismic stability of reinforced earth walls using construction & demolition waste as reinforced backfill
Principal Investigator
Prof. Sougata Mukherjee & Surender Singh
Objective
- Evaluate the feasibility of using processed construction and demolition (C&D) waste as reinforced backfill in reinforced earth (RE) walls and develop design guidelines for long-term static and seismic stability.
Description
- The project investigates the seismic performance of reinforced earth walls using recycled C&D waste as backfill through laboratory experiments and shaking table tests, aiming to establish safe and sustainable design practices.
Impact
- Promotes sustainable construction by reducing C&D waste disposal, conserving natural resources, lowering construction costs, and supporting the circular economy.
