Some factors affecting the results of soil-geogrid direct shear test
Abstract
This paper attempts to propose an appropriate technique for precisely estimating in-soil shearing resistance of geogrids based on the test results by using two types of direct shear box apparatus. A series of drained direct shear tests changing the configurations of soil and geogrid, roughness of dummy material on which the geogrid is glued, and the distance between the surface of geogrid and the shear plane was performed. Based on the test results, appropriate type of direct shear box apparatus and appropriate method of testing soil-geogrid direct shear test are proposed.
