Geosynthetic materials (i.e., geogrids, geotextiles and other geocomposites) act as an interlayer system are widely used in construction applications. In pavement structures, geosynthetic layers provide potential benefits such reinforcement, reflective cracking mitigation, increased fatigue life, improved drainage filtering. However, few studies have addressed the installation practices of geos...

Anchor-type foundations are one of the foundation types used in structures subject to tensile forces. These anchors generally designed according weight soil on them depending depth they buried at and frictional resistance obtained from failure surfaces during failure. One method increasing uplift capacity without burial is use geogrid material. In this study, capacities strip anchor plates diff...

Abstract This paper illustrates application of a locally produced geogrid material for strength improvement expansive subgrade soil. Samples black, soft soil predominating the study area were collected from south western parts Modjo town, inside rift valley region central Ethiopia. X-Ray diffraction as well index property tests executed to identify and categorize expansiveness highly plastic Th...

The method of encasing the stone column with a proper type geosynthetic material is widely used technique to provide required lateral confinement and avoid dispersion granular into soft clay. Along improved ultimate load capacity reduced settlement bulging, encasement preserves easy drainage ability columns. This paper presents finite element analysis results hypothetical embankment on soil dep...

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...

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...

This paper tries to study the effect of geosynthetic inclusion on the improvement of the load-settlement characters of two layered soil. In addition, the effect of geogrid and geotextile in reduction of the required thickness of subbase layer in unpaved roads is studied. Considering the vast application of bearing ratio tests in road construction projects, this test is used in present investiga...
