THEORETICAL BEHAVIOR OF EMBEDDED GEOGRID UNDER PULL-OUT LOADING
Hiroshi Abe, Yukiyoshi KITAMOTO · Proceedings of geotextile symposium · 1989
Estimating the stability of geogrid reinforced embankment in consideration of deformation behavior, it is indispensable to grasp the displacement dependence property of pull-out resistance of geogrid in soil.In this paper, an equation is deduced on the relation between pull-out resistance and pull-out distance taking account of strain distribution of geogrid. It has three constants of geogrid's break strength, brew strain and minimum length required to break. The measured results in pull-out test are in good agreement with the theoretical values.
