The results of an experimental and numerical study are summarized here concerning the mechanical behavior of reinforced sands. The experimental part of the investigation was carried out using both standard triaxial and plane strain equipments. In the latter case the specimens contained either horizontal reinforcements, or reinforcements inclined with respect to the vertical loading direction. A constitutive model and then two simple schemes were adopted for the preliminary interpretation of the test results. The comparison between experimental and numerical results led to some conclusions on the influence of the mechanical properties of the geotextiles, and of their inclination, on the overall resistance of the reinforced samples.

Abstract

The results of an experimental and numerical study are summarized here concerning the mechanical behavior of reinforced sands. The experimental part of the investigation was carried out using both standard triaxial and plane strain equipments. In the latter case the specimens contained either horizontal reinforcements, or reinforcements inclined with respect to the vertical loading direction. A constitutive model and then two simple schemes were adopted for the preliminary interpretation of the test results. The comparison between experimental and numerical results led to some conclusions on the influence of the mechanical properties of the geotextiles, and of their inclination, on the overall resistance of the reinforced samples.
