Pull-Out Resistance of Sand-Geosynthetics Reinforcement

Geosynthetics are widely used in earth retaining structures such as steep slope and wall. The stability of the depends on interaction between geosynthetics soil at reinforced area known reinforcement mechanism. mechanism structure usually difficult to be analysed thoroughly. It is because preliminary study pull-out resistance durability material not taking into account before it has been site location especially Malaysian practises. Less supervision assessment after installation materials also contributed failure reinforcement. In this paper, laboratory model was imply real condition using test. A standard test carried out by geotextile geogrid reinforcing elements embedded silica sand size D50=1.357 mm D50=0.571 subjected normal pressures 100 kPa, 150 kPa 200 kPa. Comparative result analysis showed that give more rather than under high pressure.
