In this paper, an experimental approach is employed to investigate the reinforcing impact of geogrids on dry-shrinkage cracking loess. At various evaporation temperatures and for varying specimen thicknesses, evolution surface fissures induced in loess samples with without was monitored analyzed. According findings, rate increased when temperature increased, thickness reduced under same conditi...

Abstract Rapid construction of buildings in urban area is creating lack space available for new construction. This problem enforced to construct building on slope hilly regions. However, the engineers and designers are concerned with stability analysis structures built soil slopes, as it difficult achieve a uniform structural level mountainous terrain. Also, cannot be reduced same forms part ba...

In this paper, the membrane effect of geogrid reinforcement was investigated based on numerical simulation to understand serviceability and deformation highway piled embankments under moving vehicle loads. The in low (i.e., ratio embankment height pile spacing is less than 1.5) clearly emphasized. It has been found that maximum settlement occurs central area between piles, tension concentrated ...

Stone columns are a more economical and efficient method to enhance the strength of expansive soils. Using granular blanket over top ordinary stone (OSC) improves drainage distribution applied stress impending from superstructure. The present study studied effect geogrid layers in (GB) OSC numerically using 'PLAXIS 2D'. 'Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion was deliberated for column, blanket, soil, ...

The cyclic properties of geosynthetic soil interface are crucial for reinforced structures subject to seismic loading. A series direct tests under normal loading was conducted on geogrid-gravel interface. relationship among the amplitudes and shear displacement frequencies in horizontal vertical directions with strength volume change investigated. Test results showed that relative time shift, s...
