Abstract: A series of triaxial compression tests and cyclic triaxial tests were conducted on unreinforced and geogrid reinforced crushed limestone samples to investigate the effects of the geogrid type, location, and number of layers ...

Abstract: Geosynthetics have increasingly been used to reinforce many earth structures and are now a well-accepted means to improve engineering properties of various types of soil. However, most previous studies and applications of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical model for the simulation of the piezocone penetration test that is used to carry out a parametric study of the piezocone penetration test in cohesive soils. The piezocone penetration is ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to assess the potential use of the geogauge and the light falling weight deflectometer (LFWD) as quality control/quality assurance

Abstract: This research study was performed to examine the shakedown behavior of geogrid-reinforced unbound granular materials and evaluate the factors that affect the shakedown stress limits. To achieve this objective, the study ...

Abstract: This research evaluated the benefits of geogrid reinforcement of granular base specimens and studied the effect of different factors contributing to their performance. This includes geometry, tensile modulus, arrangement/location ...
