Abstract:
Soil improvement a method is used for increasing bearing capacity of materials applied in pavement layers. Stabilization generally performed based on two methods chemically and mechanically. Currently geosynthetic materials are used for soil improvement in retaining walls and earth fall. The application of geogrid layers is one of the effective method in many engineering projects and pavement design for soil improvement. Increase of clay or silt content in sand in various percent can basically change geotechnical behavior of mixture. Main aim of this research is experimental study of georid layers locating and number of them effects on bearing capacity and shear strength of sandy and clayey soils from Barandouz area. In this study sandy soil mixed with clay in 25, 50 and 75%. The effect of geogrids on geotechnical properties of specimens studied in two positions: first a geogrid embedded in the middle of materials and second two geogrids by equal depth from each other used in soils. For evaluating geotechnical behavior of sand-clay mixtures California bearing ratio (CBR) and Direct shear tests performed based on ASTM in both dry and saturate conditions. Also, percent of swelling in fines content saturated soils assessed. Results showed that in unreinforced specimens with increasing fines content in bearing capacity and geotechnical properties decreased. Then, with embed a geogrid layer in middle part of specimens compared to two geogrid layers value of sand skeleton void ratio decreased and maximum dry unit weight increased and at that time bearing capacity and shear strength of materials in both dry and saturate condition improved. Also, swelling percent of fines content soils with embed a geogrid layer significantly as compared to an unreinforced decreased. Therefore, it is recommended application of one geogrid layer in sand-clay mixtures is optimum for design subgrade and sub base layers in pavement.
