Shear strength of geomesh reinforced clay
Abstract Consolidated undrained and consolidated drained triaxial tests were conducted on overconsolidated geomesh reinforced clay. The geomesh stiffness, number of reinforcing layers, and the confining pressure were varied. It appeared that the geomesh reinforcement enhances the strength in both the undrained and drained conditions. However, the clay-geomesh interaction is different from that known for sand. The enhanced confining stress concept is not applicable and the reinforcement stiffness does not significantly affect the strength. The A pore pressure parameter at failure is higher for reinforced than for unreinforced samples and it increases with an increasing number of reinforcing layers. The reinforcement effect in the undrained condition is due to an increase in the cohesion component of shear strength, whereas in the drained condition the effect is due to an increase in the angle of internal friction.
