Quality Assessment of Geogrids Used for Subgrade treatment
In December 2012, Monica Prezzi, Min Sang Lee, and Yoon Seok Choi completed "SPR-3225 Quality Assessment of Geogrids used for Subgrade Treatment." The project objective was to evaluate the mechanical interaction between a subgrade soil and an aggregate base layer with and without a geogrid in place at the interface. A series of large-scale direct shear tests were performed to investigate the effects of geogrid properties, such as geogrid aperture area, junction strength, and tensile strength, on the interface shear strength of soil-geogrid-aggregate systems.
