One of the most effective ways to increase longevity pavement structures is through integration geosynthetic reinforcement. Geosynthetics are synthetic materials such as geotextiles, geogrids, or geocomposites that added interface between subgrade and base layer a structure. To evaluate effect various parameters on structural benefits reinforcement structure low-volume traffic flexible pavement...

abstract: this paper presents the results of pullout tests on uniaxial geogrid embedded in silica sand under monotonic and cyclic pullout forces. the new testing device as a recently developed automated pullout test device for soil-geogrid strength and deformation behavior investigation is capable of applying load/displacement controlled monotonic/cyclic forces at different rates/frequencies an...

This paper presents the effect of geogrid tensile strength by calculating pullout resistance and geogrid-soil interaction mechanism. In order to investigate this interface, a series of pullout tests have been conducted by large scale reformed direct shear test apparatus in both cohesive and granular soils. In numerical, finite difference software FLAC3D has been carried out on experimental test...

Designing and building structures infrastructures with alternative environmentally friendly materials is, nowadays, an important step towards a more sustainable society. Recycled Construction Demolition (C&D) have been considered as in different civil engineering applications, such unbound pavement layers structural embankments, which geosynthetics are also frequently applied. If the durability...
