An analysis on geosynthetic stiffness by Robert Bathurst and Fahimeh Naftchali has been named best paper by the Geotextiles and Geomembranes journal.
The paper, 'Influence of uncertainty in geosynthetic stiffness on deterministic and probabilistic analyses using analytical solutions for three reinforced soil problems', published in Volume 51(1):117-130, was chosen in the latest annual awards by the publication.
Receiving an honorable mention was 'Model tests of geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls with marginal backfill subjected to rainfall' published in Volume 51(2):342-359 by K. H. Yang, H. M. Wu, T. L. Tseng, C. Yoo.
For the awards, papers were considered for their contribution in providing significant new insights and/or potentially having a high impact on the discipline.
All technical articles, except those where the Editor was an author, were eligible, with papers voted on by the Editorial Board members.
Editor-in-chief, IGS Past President Chungsik Yoo, congratulated all the authors for "their very significant contribution to the geosynthetics discipline".
