| description | This paper presents an experimental study on the anisotropic shear strength behavior of soil–geogrid interfaces. A new type of interface shear test device was developed, and a series of soil–geogrid interface shear tests were conducted for three different biaxial geogrids and three different triaxial geogrids under the shear directions of 0°, 45° and 90°. Clean fine sand, coarse sand, and gravel were selected as the testing materials to investigate the influence of particle size. The experimental results for the interface shear strength behavior, and the influences of shear direction and particle size are presented and discussed. The results indicate that the interface shear strength under the same normal stress varies with shear direction for all the biaxial and triaxial geogrids investigated, which shows anisotropic shear strength behavior of soil–geogrid interfaces. The soil–biaxial geogrid interfaces show stronger anisotropy than that of the soil–triaxial geogrid interfaces under different shear directions. Particle size has a great influence on the anisotropy shear strength behavior of soil–geogrid interfaces. |
