FULL-SCALE CYCLIC DYNAMIC LOADING EXPERIMENTS OF THE GROUND REINFORCED BY GEOCELL AND GEOTEXTILE

Abstract

In this study, we carry out the full-scale dynamic cyclic loading experiments of the ground reinforced by using geocell and geotexitles. Then we discuss the stability of the reinforced ground. The experiment grounds reinforced by some methods are constructed continuously in the site. The cyclic loading is given by the load vehicle (a heavy vehicle: 20 ton dump track) on the ground. As the results of experiments, the stability of each reinforcement method is compared relatively.
