Factors Effecting the Shear Strength of Geotextile Reinforced Compacted Clays

Year 2018, Volume: 20 Issue: 60, 725 - 742, 15.09.2018

Abstract

In
this study, it was aimed to investigate the potential advantages of the use of
geotextiles as a reinforcing material, and an evaluation of their effects on
mechanical behavior of clayey soils was made, including a comparison of the
experimental results obtained with those from earlier studies concentrated on the
same topic. As a result, a series of unconfined compression tests were
conducted to evaluate certain parameters which possibly influences the behavior
of geotextile reinforced clayey soil. For this aim, parameters including
geotextile type (nonwoven, woven), water content, rate of loading and the
number of geotextile layers were analyzed .

yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, geotekstille güçlendirilmiş kil zeminin
davranışını etkileyebilecek bazı parametreler tanımlanmış ve bir dizi serbest
basınç deneyi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu amaçla, incelenen parametreler,
geotekstil türü (örgülü, örgüsüz), su içeriği, yükleme hızı ve kullanılan
geotekstil katmanlarının sayısını içermektedir.
