Abstract

Cyclic load tests were performed on 4m length of smooth steel, ribbed steel and geosynthetic Tensar Geogrid reinforcing strips. Comparisons are made of development of strip movement under load with number of alternating load applications. It has been clearly demonstrated that the Tensar Geogrid reinforcement is safer and more efficient than either the smooth or the ribbed steel strips. Des essais de chargement cycliques ont été réalisés sur des éléments de renforcement de 4 m de longueur constitués d’acier lisse, d’acier adhérent et de geosynthetic du type Tensar Geogrid. Une comparaison entre les déplacements de ces éléments sous l’effet de ce mode de chargement a été faite. Les résultats ont montrés que les renforcements du type Tensar Geogrid sont plus sûrs et plus efficaces que les renforcements en acier.
