Using Triaxial Tests to Determine the Shearing Strength of Geogrid-Reinforced Sand

Effect of Cementation on the Shear Strength of Tehran Gravelly Sand Using Triaxial Tests

strength evaluation of wet reinforced silty sand by triaxial test

conventional investigations on the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soils are often investigated at the failure point. in this paper, a new concept of comparison of the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soil by estimating the strength and strength ratio (deviatoric stress of reinforced sample to unreinforced sample) at various strain levels is proposed. a comprehensive set of labor...

Eccentrically loaded strip foundation on geogrid-reinforced sand

Results are presented for laboratory model tests conducted to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of an eccentrically loaded strip foundation supported by geogridreinforced sand. Only one type of sand at one relative density of compaction and one type of geogrid were used for the tests. The depth of the foundation was varied from zero to B (width of foundation). Based on the laboratory test...

Improvement of Strength Parameters of Sand Reinforced with Polymeric Fibers

Triaxial consolidated drained, unconfined compression, and CBR tests have been conducted in order to study the stress-strain, strength, and volume change characteristics of fine sand specimens reinforced by polymeric fibers made from carpet wastes. The variables are aspect ratio (length/width) and weight percentage of the fibers. The results indicate that the peak strength and total volume chan...
