...C. Sun; F. Song To investigate the effects of high and low temperature environments on the mechanical properties of geocells with different materials, three commonly used geocell materials including HDPE, PET and PP were selected as research objects. High- and low-temperature tensile tests were...

...B. Zhang; J. Liu; F. Song The relationship between the overall tensile behavior of geocells and that of their constituent strips and junctions has been characterized by ambiguity, presenting difficulties for the formulation of precise engineering design criteria. To address this, biaxial tensile...

... in pavements, geocell-reinforced bases can be an effective solution in mitigating F-T damage to cold region roads. However, there is almost no research dedicated to understanding the potential benefit of geocells and the underlying mechanisms in this regard. This study employed a custom-made model test device...

...S. Chowdhury; N. R. Patra In this study, the effect of geocell confinement on strength, deformation, dynamic properties, and liquefaction characteristics of pond ash samples were investigated. Pond ash was collected from the Panki thermal power station, India. The geocells were handmade with high...

...K. Kazemi; M. R. Arvin; N. Hataf; A. Khademhosseini This study examines the behaviour of square footings located on unreinforced, single-, and double-layer geocell-reinforced sand slopes through a series of reduced-scale model tests. Contributing factors such as the distance between the footing...

...H. Venkateswarlu; A. Hegde The manuscript aims to provide numerous insights into the behavior of the geocell reinforced bed subjected to a vibration load. Vibration propagation mechanism, displacement, and stress response of geocell reinforcement have been described. Two different cases, namely...

...R. Gedela; R. Karpurapu Geocells are three-dimensional cellular expandable mats used to improve the load-carrying capacity of weak subgrades. The expanded geocell pockets take the shape of a honeycomb connected to their neighbouring pockets. This manuscript deals with the importance of considering...

...F. Song; H. Liu; B. Yang; J. Zhao A series of large-scale triaxial compression tests were performed on sandy soil confined by a circular geocell in this study. The effects of the relative density of the infill sand, the stiffness and strength of the geocell, and the aspect ratio (height-to-diameter...

...F. Song; Y.-L. Xie; Y.-F. Yang; X.-H. Yang ABSTRACT: Since the 1980s, flexible geocell-reinforced retaining walls have been used more frequently for slope protection as an alternative to conventional retaining structures. The benefits of these geocell structures include light weight, rapid...

...B.F. Tanyu; A.H. Aydilek; A.W. Lau; T.B. Edil; C.H. Benson ABSTRACT: Large-scale experiments with cyclic loading were conducted to determine how incorporation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geocells affects the rutting properties of working platforms and resilient properties of a subbase...

... of pipelines are technical, economic and social. In the case of a sewer network failure, illness and epidemics might result. In this paper, to protect the buried pipe, use of a three-dimensional geosynthetic (geocell) is investigated to reinforce the trench. Two series of three-dimensional full-scale tests...

...M. Mengelt; T. B. Edil; C. H. Benson Resilient modulus tests were conducted on two coarse-grained soils (gravel and sand) and a fine-grained soil (lean silty clay) in a large-size cell with and without confinement in a geocell. The effect of the geocell on resilient modulus depended on the infill...
