GEOTEXTİL

Geotextiles are widely used in motorway construction for improvement of tensile-transformation properties of soil basement by reinforcement with geosynthetics. It would be a realistic approach to analyze behavioral properties of the material under recurrent forces, now that such a reinforcement is a dynamic problem. In this study, changes in resistance properties of thin uniform sand soil basement under applied recurrent forces were investigated after reinforcement via various geotextile types. Experiments were performed on sand specimens saturated with water and arranged with a specific relative tightness in the laboratory with torsion shearing gadget with a specific tightness. After a series of experiements under isotropic conditions without drainage, it was observed that randomly distributed geotextile reinforcement significantly increased strength of the soil under dynamic loads.
