...M. Aljaberi; A. Elshesheny; M. Mohamed; O. Elkezza; T. Sheehan This study examines the system performance of buried HDPE pipes near erosion voids under incrementally increasing cyclic loading, evaluating the effects of geogrid reinforcement and burial depth. Eleven large-scale tests were carried...

... indicate that an increase in soft rock content reduces the shear strength and weakens its shear induced dilatancy. The average peak shear strength of tested geogrid reinforced dense specimens can be increased by 10%, and the residual shear strength can be increased by about 30%. The relative breakage index...

...Z. Luo; X. Ding; Q. Ou; L. Zhang; T. Zhang Geogrid-reinforced coral sand (GRCS) effectively enhances the strength and stability of marine geo-structures in island and coastal areas. The complex interaction and underlying mechanism of the geogrid-coral sand interface potentially determine...

...L. Miao; F. Wang; J. Han; W. Lv ABSTRACT: In the present study, physical model tests were conducted to investigate the effect of the geogrid reinforcement on the reduction of the differential settlement in widening of a highway embankment. A water bag filled with water and placed beneath...

... simulate very well the experimental results obtained by the present study. Fresh samples of five different types of polymer geogrid reinforcement, typical of those widely used in Japan, and an aged one were selected for the present study. Table 1 lists the fibre materials, coating materials...

... on the model retaining walls under a range of surcharge pressures, which ranged from an at-rest to active-state condition. In so doing, the effectiveness of unattached geogrid reinforcement layers in reducing the lateral earth pressures was demonstrated. It was shown that unattached geogrid layers effectively...
