EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF POLYMER GRID REINFORCED EMBANKMENT ---PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EARTH REINFORCEMENT, FUKUOKA, KYUSHU, JAPAN, 5-7 OCTOBER 1988
In order to establish an appropriate design and execution method for reinforcing the earth embankment with polymer grids (hereinafter grids) a series of experiments and analyses were conducted by constructing large-size test embankments. The dimensions of the experimental embankment were: -height : 3 m, slope : 1:0.7, the length and spacing of grid laying in the embankment were varied and the reinforcing effects, when tested under a severe condition of 15 mm/hr artificial rain, were compared and evaluated. The integration effect of grid and earth was determined quantitatively through analyses by slip-circle method and the elasto-plastic finite element method (fem). The applicability of fem to the grid reinforced embankment analysis was discussed. For the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 818063.
