Abstract (EN): Present days, several countries across the globe are making large investments in building transportation infrastructures such as highways, railways, airport runways etc. Due to scarcity of land, many times, these structures are being built over weak soils leading to design, construction and maintenance hazards. Geosynthetics in form of geogrids, geotextiles, and geocells, are being widely used to mitigate such problems. Owing to cost economy and ease of construction the reinforced soil technology finds favour with the practicing engineers. Contributions serving this special issue cover a range of topics, from evaluation of material properties, physical modelling, and numerical modelling, to reliability and sustainability analyses of reinforced soils relevant to transportation infrastructures.
