Abstract

In this study, the effects of geosynthetics reinforcements on compressive behaviors of weathered granite soils were investigated by uni-axial and tri-axial compression tests. Geogrid, geomat, and polyethylene slit film fiber were used as reinforced geosynthetis. From the experimental results, these geosynthetics reinforcement effects could increase the compressive strength of soil and especially, the reinforced effects of geogrid and geomat were extremely excellent compared to polyethylene slit film fiber reinforced. This effect is larger for 3 layer geosynthetics used. For triaxial compression test, despite unconsolidated undrained condition, it is seen that the increasing shear strength of the weathered granite soils is due to the increasing adhesive power.
