Geogrid reinforced embankment

In this article, the authors use Plaxis 2D software to simulate triaxial testing that shows the behavior of the geogrid reinforced soil structures under the effect of loads. Based on the Mohr - Rankine limit equilibrium conditions, the apparent cohesion generated by the geogrid layers is determined.

The finite element analysis greatly enhances the understanding of the observations while the measurements give the finite element analysis substance. A full-scale test embankment reinforced with Tenax TT 201 polymer geogrids and weathered Bangkok clay as backfill material has been carried out. Finite element method has been employed to reanalyze all the measured data from the above test embankment. The agreement between the finite element results and the field data is quite good. The results indicate that the overconsolidation ratios affect much on the consolidation settlement.
