Abstract in Portuguese
O uso de reforços geossintéticos tem se apresentado como uma solução eficiente que permite reduzir os custos de implantação de estruturas de contenção. Seu comportamento pode ser estudado com a utilização de softwares de elementos finitos na intenção de obter configurações ainda mais econômicas. Neste trabalho foram simulados muros de solo reforçados com geossintéticos (MSRG) pelo método dos elementos finitos (software Plaxis 8.2), analisando-se como parâmetro o deslocamento máximo da face dos muros e a máxima força mobilizada no reforço. Inicialmente, desenvolveu-se e calibrou-se um modelo numérico a partir de um modelo físico construído e monitorado encontrado na literatura. Em seguida construiu-se um modelo numérico de MSRG hipotético e realizaram-se estudos paramétricos com as variáveis: tipo de solo, priorizando-se solos finos tropicais; rigidez e espaçamento do reforço; e inclinação e altura do muro. Os resultados corroboraram a bem sucedida prática nacional de construção de muros reforçados com solos finos tropicais, sendo que a coesão se mostrou um parâmetro importante no comportamento de MSRG construídos com solos finos.

Abstract in English
The use of geosynthetic reinforcements is an efficient solution that reduces the costs of implantation of containment structures. Their behavior can be studied by the use of finite element software, with the goal to obtain more economical configurations. In this study, geosynthetic reinforced retaining walls (MSRG) were simulated by the finite element method (software Plaxis 8.2), analyzing as a parameter the maximum face displacement and the maximum force mobilized in the reinforcement. Initially, a numeric model was developed and calibrated from a constructed and monitored physical model of the literature. After, a numerical model of hypothetical MSRG was constructed and parametric studies were done with the following variables: soil type, prioritizing tropical fine soils; reinforcement stiffness and spacing, and slope and height of the wall. The results corroborated the successful brazilian practice at the building reinforced MSRG with tropical fine soils, due cohesion being an important parameter in the behavior of MSRGs constructed with fine soils.
