Laboratory modeling of soil dam reinforced by geosynthetic material

摘要

The paper presents the results of the laboratory modeling of soil embankment which had been subjected to the static loading, as well as horizontal and vertical strains. The research had made by the necessity of making engineering solutions for the reconstruction of the existing dam, located on the territory of a metallurgical plant in the Karaganda region, Kazakhstan. Model tests conducted on a scale of 1:40. In the scopes of research program, two models of soil dam were tested: without reinforcing elements and with reinforcement elements presented by geosynthetic (geogrid). The test results are presented in graphical and tabular form. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results is presented in this paper.
