Unit Cell Testing of Reinforced Soils
This chapter discusses the use and limitations of different unit cell devices in studying the reinforcing mechanism of soils. The strain path of reinforcement is an important issue to be considered, and the drainage conditions if cohesive are used. For boundary-value problems, unit cell testing will not be relevant. In addition to the study of the mechanism, the triaxial compression test may also be used in order to determine the input parameters for constitutive models in finite-element analysis that are based on the “composite” approach where the soil-geosynthetic composite was treated as a locally homogeneous material.
