Non Linear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced and Unreinforeced Pavements
In this research a comprehensive finite element program was developed in order to carry out an elasto perfectly plastic analysis of geogrid reinforcement of a model pavement. Qualitative agreement is seen between the numerical results and experiment. The results indicate the influence of geogrid in reduction of vertical deformation of pavements. It is also seen that for strong subgrade, the opt...
متن کاملApplication of FBG Sensing Technology in Stability Analysis of Geogrid-Reinforced Slope
By installing FBG sensors on the geogrids, smart geogrids can both reinforce and monitor the stability for geogrid-reinforced slopes. In this paper, a geogrid-reinforced sand slope model test is conducted in the laboratory and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing technology is used to measure the strain distribution of the geogrid. Based on the model test, the performance of the reinforced soil sl...
متن کاملUltimate Bearing Capacity of Eccentrically Loaded Strip Foundation on Sand Reinforced with Geogrids
This paper reports the results of model loading tests performed on an eccentrically loaded strip foundation supported by multi-layered geogrid-reinforced sand. Only one type of geogrid and sand at one relative density of compaction were considered. Based on the present laboratory test results, an empirical relationship for the reduction factor has been developed. This relationship can be used t...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Road Actual Conditions to Evaluate the Optimal Positioning of Geogrid Using Finite Elements and Dynamic Methods
Roads are subjected to vehicle traffics with different loads and velocities. Geogrid reinforcement is of the best methods for road improvement due to the ease of construction, delay in damage development and financial efficiency. This study evaluates pavement response under different loads and velocities, before and after geogrid reinforcement. A finite element software (ABAQUS) is used for num...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Different Aperture Geogrids for Ballast Reinforcement through Triaxial Testing and Discrete Element Modeling
Geogrids are commonly used in transportation applications for stabilization and reinforcement due to their higher tensile strengths compared to geotextiles as well as the stiffness improvement they provide through arresting and interlocking granular particles in the geogrid apertures. Influenced by many factors, such as the aperture shape and size of geogrid, the degree of interlocking contribu...
