| Abstract | To investigate the behavior of geotextile reinforced sand, triaxial UU, CIU
and CID compression tests we r e performed on Ayutthaya s and reinforced with
horizontal discs of nonwoven geotextiles . Two kinds of stronger and weaker
geotextiles were used, namely: Polyfelt PEC-200 and Polyfelt TS-700, with
normalized spacing 0.5, 0. 33 and 0. 25 . Samples were prepared at the same wat e r
content or dry density.
Comparison of unreinforced and reinforced soi1 specimens shows that with the
same kind of geotextile, the strength increases with increasing confining
pressure and decreasing normalizeds pacing. With the same confining pressure and
normalized s pacing , the strength increases with the increase of geotextile
stiffness . For UU test, with one , two, and three layers of TS-700 t he c/c
( cis the apparent cohesion of unreinforced samples and Cr is the apparent
cohesion of reinforced samples) values we r e 1.06 , 1. 65 and 2 . 65 a nd |
