Physical Model Tests of Geocell Reinforced Soil Foundation Under Moving Wheel Condition
摘要
The authors performed two-dimensional and three-dimensional physical model tests of geocell reinforced soil foundations under moving wheel conditions to investigate the reinforcing effects of geocells. A series of physical model tests investigated the relationship between the number of moving wheel loads and wheel subsidence for different reinforcing conditions. This study clarifies that the geocell reinforcing effect under three-dimensional conditions is much higher than that of two-dimensional conditions. This paper describes the outline of physical model tests of geocell reinforced foundations and reports of primitive test results. The reinforcing effects of geocell are discussed by comparing the results of some test cases.
