...W. X. Zeng; F. Y. Liu; M. J. Ying The investigation of cyclic shear response on a geosynthetic–soil interface is important for reinforced soil structures. A stereoscopic geogrid with a thickened transverse-rib thickness increases the interaction with the soil compared with a planar geogrid...

... tests and the discrete element method (DEM). Geogrids were manufactured by 3D printing. The effect of mesh pattern and transverse-rib thickness on the stress–displacement relationship, strength parameters, coordination number and porosity distribution were evaluated. The results showed that the mesh...
