Abstract

To enhance the mechanical properties and stability of desert railway embankments, the utilization of geogrids has proven to be an effective measure. The article conducted field tests and discrete element simulations to thoroughly examine the static performance of embankments reinforced with geogrids. The study systematically explored the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of the geogrid-reinforced embankment under static loading. Various factors were investigated, including the horizontal laying arrangements and depth to the top layer of the geogrid, as well as key design parameters such as the number of geogrid layers, geogrid width, and vertical spacing between geogrid layers. The findings indicate a progressive enhancement in the ultimate bearing capacity of the embankment with an increase in both the number of geogrid layers and the geogrid width. Conversely, there is a decrease in ultimate bearing capacity as the depth to the top layer increases. In comparison to unreinforced embankments, reinforced embankments exhibit a reduced contact anisotropy, signifying that the geogrid effectively disperses static loads, resulting in a more uniform contact distribution. The geogrid restrains both displacement and rotation of the aeolian sand, and this restraining effect progressively strengthens with an increase in the number of geogrid layers or the geogrid width. The research findings can serve as a reference for the design and application of aeolian sand railway embankments.

土工格栅加固风化砂铁路路堤静态性能研究:现场试验和离散元模拟
为提高沙漠铁路路堤的机械性能和稳定性,使用土工格栅已被证明是一项有效措施。文章通过现场试验和离散元模拟,深入研究了土工格栅加固路堤的静态性能。研究系统地探讨了土工格栅加固路堤在静态荷载下的宏观和微观特性。研究了各种因素,包括土工格栅的水平铺设方式和铺设深度,以及土工格栅层数、土工格栅宽度和土工格栅层间垂直间距等关键设计参数。研究结果表明,随着土工格栅层数和宽度的增加,路堤的极限承载力也会逐渐提高。相反,随着顶层深度的增加,极限承载力会下降。与未加固的路堤相比,加固路堤的接触各向异性降低,这表明土工格栅有效地分散了静载荷,使接触分布更加均匀。土工格栅可以抑制风化砂的位移和旋转,随着土工格栅层数或宽度的增加,这种抑制作用会逐渐加强。研究结果可为风化砂铁路路堤的设计和应用提供参考。

期刊介绍: The range of products and their applications has expanded rapidly over the last decade with geotextiles and geomembranes being specified world wide. This rapid growth is paralleled by a virtual explosion of technology. Current reference books and even manufacturers' sponsored publications tend to date very quickly and the need for a vehicle to bring together and discuss the growing body of technology now available has become evident. Geotextiles and Geomembranes fills this need and provides a forum for the dissemination of information amongst research workers, designers, users and manufacturers. By providing a growing fund of information the journal increases general awareness, prompts further research and assists in the establishment of international codes and regulations.
