In this study, a 3D coupled framework that leverages the strengths of both continuum and discontinuum methods was developed to investigate the influence of pocket size and multi-cell configuration on geocell-reinforced soils. To unveil the impact of size-related factors on soil-geocell interactions, reinforced soils containing various geocell configurations (single large-sized cell, multiple small-sized cells), as well as geocell-free soils subjected to increasing levels of confining pressure were extensively examined. This thorough investigation aimed to establish correlations between macroscopic responses and underlying micromechanical mechanisms. Our findings revealed that the presence of the geocell not only enhances the densification of interparticle contacts and reduces the number of floating particles that contribute minimally to load support, but also facilitates the concentration of force chains within the geocell structure. This leads to an increase in elastic stiffness along the loading axis. These observations highlight that the geocell's confining mechanism enhances both the load-carrying capacity and the infill rigidity, thereby preventing lateral soil spreading. In essence, the geocell serves to increase the soil's ability to withstand load and maintain its structural integrity laterally.</div>","PeriodicalId":55096,"journal":{"name":"Geotextiles and Geomembranes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139101326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following this, a pore pressure model applicable to both unreinforced and reinforced calcareous sand is proposed. The liquefaction resistance of calcareous sand increases with the increase in relative density, whereas an elevated cyclic stress ratio increases its liquefaction susceptibility. A virtually unique relationship can be observed between the liquefaction resistance normalized to the product of phase transformation strength ratio and relative density against the number of cycles for triggering liquefaction, providing an effective means of early assessing sand liquefaction resistance. Moreover, the geogrid exhibits excellent reinforcement efficiency in enhancing the liquefaction resistance of calcareous sand at relative densities of 50% and 70%. During the post-liquefaction stage, increasing relative density and geogrid reinforcement can accelerate the recovery of stiffness and strength for liquefied calcareous sand and improve the post-liquefaction strength.
