Large-scale testing was performed to examine key performance indicators for reinstated trenches with buried 250-mm diameter plastic pipe (0.75-m invert depth) when subjected to cyclic surface loading simulating vehicular traffic. The real-scale model tests investigated unreinforced and geocell-reinforced trenches with conventional rectangular and differently shaped EPS block inclusions placed above the crown or fitting snugly around the upper section of the buried pipes. Compared to conventional rectangular EPS block, the curved-arched EPS block produced greater reductions in the pressures acting on the buried pipes, resulting in substantially smaller pipe deformation/deflections. The geocell layer overlying the EPS block significantly reduced the pressures bearing on the highly compressible EPS material, thereby reducing its compression and the trench surface settlement. Optimum trench reinstatements incorporated both the geocell layer and a 75-mm thick curved-arched EPS block fitted around the top section of the pipe. Doubling the EPS block thickness produced only modest reductions in the pipe deflections, but significantly increased the trench surface settlement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55096,"journal":{"name":"Geotextiles and Geomembranes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140406999","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}

The responses studied were stress distribution in different pavement layers, induced strains in geocell walls, and settlement characteristics. The reinforced sections exhibited a significant reduction in rut depth as well as localized stress concentration compared to the unreinforced section. The reduction in rut depth was found to be influenced by the geocell height as well as weld spacing. The geocell reinforcement was found to distribute the stresses in the subgrade and subbase layers more efficiently, thus reducing the stress concentration in these layers. The strain measurements were found to be higher at the bottom of the geocell walls indicating a higher confinement effect on a lower part of the geocell. In the field, mostly geocells of 356 mm weld spacing and 150 mm height (SW356-H150) are used.

The testing apparatus developed as part of this study facilitates simulating the transference of stresses at the face and evaluating the facing connection loads in geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls. This study assesses the connection loads between a geogrid reinforcement connected frictionally to modular concrete blocks. A comprehensive instrumentation program was implemented to capture lateral earth pressures, geosynthetic strains and loads acting at the geogrid-block connection in a geosynthetic-reinforced unit cell subjected to incremental surcharge stages. Results indicate that conventional calculations, based on earth pressure theory, may underestimate the facing connection loads, mainly when the connection loads are triggered by the differential settlement of the backfill relative to the block facing. When this mechanism dominates the mobilization at the connection, reinforcement loads increase as the differential settlement increases, developing down-drag forces at the connection between the geogrid and modular blocks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55096,"journal":{"name":"Geotextiles and Geomembranes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140146223","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}

The drainage performance of PWG was assessed through beaker drainage tests and soil column tests. The results of the beaker drainage test and SEM images indicate that PVF does not obstruct the deep-grooved yarns. It is found that, by facilitating efficient water absorption, storage, and transfer as a transit layer between the subgrade and wicking yarns, PVF plays a crucial role in enhancing the drainage capabilities of the geosynthetic material. PWG outperforms WG in terms of drainage efficiency under both static and cyclic loading conditions. The mechanism of the drainage improvement by PWG under cyclic loading is that the excess pore pressure within the PVF layer accelerates the water transfer from the pores of the PVF into the grooves of yarns.

The breakable nature of polygonal calcareous sands determines the complex particle-geogrid interactions.

It follows that the macro-microscopic mechanical behavior of GRCS under the influence of aperture size and tensile resistance of geogrids was further investigated via effective DEM simulations. The presented results show that the decreased aperture size and increased tensile resistance are beneficial to enhance the macro-mechanical properties of GRCS, including strength, internal friction angle and pseudo cohesion. Particle crushing is mainly affected by shear strain and confining pressure. The bulging deformation of GRCS is partially suppressed due to the confining effect of geogrids.
