Download or read book Stress Cracking Potential of HDPE Geogrids written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the development of a testing protocol to measure the potential for stress cracking of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geogrids used for soil reinforcement. The developed data demonstrate that local stress cracking in the unoriented transverse node of HDPE geogrids can occur as a result of construction-induced damage. Undamaged geogrids are not prone to stress cracking at load levels below their 100-year limiting creep load.

Download or read book Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil GRS Walls written by Jonathan T. H. Wu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to provide a detailed overview of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Walls Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls deploy horizontal layers of closely spaced tensile inclusion in the fill material to achieve stability of a soil mass. GRS walls are more adaptable to different environmental conditions, more economical, and offer high performance in a wide range of transportation infrastructure applications. This book addresses both GRS and GMSE, with a much stronger emphasis on the former. For completeness, it begins with a review of shear strength of soils and classical earth pressure theories. It then goes on to examine the use of geosynthetics as reinforcement, and followed by the load-deformation behavior of GRS mass as a soil-geosynthetic composite, reinforcing mechanisms of GRS, and GRS walls with different types of facing. Finally, the book finishes by covering design concepts with design examples for different loading and geometric conditions, and the construction of GRS walls, including typical construction procedures and general construction guidelines. The number of GRS walls and abutments built to date is relatively low due to lack of understanding of GRS. While failure rate of GMSE has been estimated to be around 5%, failure of GRS has been found to be practically nil, with studies suggesting many advantages, including a smaller susceptibility to long-term creep and stronger resistance to seismic loads when well-compacted granular fill is employed. Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls will serve as an excellent guide or reference for wall projects such as transportation infrastructure—including roadways, bridges, retaining walls, and earth slopes—that are in dire need of repair and replacement in the U.S. and abroad. Covers both GRS and GMSE (MSE with geosynthetics as reinforcement); with much greater emphasis on GRS walls Showcases reinforcing mechanisms, engineering behavior, and design concepts of GRS and includes many step-by-step design examples Features information on typical construction procedures and general construction guidelines Includes hundreds of line drawings and photos Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls is an important book for practicing geotechnical engineers and structural engineers, as well as for advanced students of civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering.

Download or read book Use of Geogrids in Railroad Track written by David M. Coleman and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geogrid has been defined as a deformed or nondeformed net-like polymetric material used with foundation, soil, rock, earth, or any other geotechnical engineering-related materials as an integral part of a human-made project, structure, or system. Geogrids are one of the geosynthetics that have seen increased use in railroad applications. In conjunction with design of railroad track at several military installations the question was raised as to the benefit of including a geogrid in the ballast to act as a reinforcement mechanism. The use of geogrids in railroad track applications was investigated to determine if the ballast thickness can be reduced using geogrids. Investigation was made of the advantages and disadvantages of using geogrids along with the possibility of reducing the ballast thickness through the use of a geogrid. All available technical literature applicable to the use of geogrids in railroad track was reviewed. A number of telephone calls and personal contacts were made with people in academia and in the geosynthetics and railroad industries who have been involved with the development, testing, and use of these materials in railroad track. A synopsis of the information that is currently available in relation to the use of geogrids in railroad track reinforcement is presented along with recommendations for the use of geogrids on low traffic density, low speed railroad tracks typical of those found on military installations.
