Pull-out tests for the assessment of soil-geogrids interaction - Influence of some mechanical and physical parameters
Abstract
Testing equipment and procedures, specimen preparation are presented for pull-out tests for geogrids in granular soils. The interaction between a well graded sand and a HDPE uniaxial grid is studied in a pull-out box with 1.53m length, 1.0m width and 0.8m height. The influence of the displacement rate, soil density and specimen length on the pull-out force of the grid is discussed by analysing the results of the tests.
