For improving the stability and load carrying capacity of weak subgrade, strengthening
methods are to be followed in the field. Among the various approaches, geocells have been …

Numerical modelling of the geocell has been always a big challenge due to its complex
honeycomb structure. Generally, the equivalent composite approach is adopted to model the …

The results of laboratory-model tests on strip footings supported on unreinforced and geocell-
reinforced sand beds under a combination of static and repeated loads are presented. The …

This paper presents the case history of the construction of a 3 m high embankment on the
geocell foundation over the soft settled red mud. Red mud is a waste product from the Bayer …

This paper presents the results of the laboratory model tests and the numerical studies
conducted on small diameter PVC pipes, buried in geocell reinforced sand beds. The aim of …

Service trench provision and maintenance of buried pipes represent major cost items in the
utilities industry. Using recycled material in order to optimize the design of the buried pipe …

To study the settlement and dynamic response characteristics of shallow square footings on
geogrid-reinforced sand under cyclic loading, 7 sets of large scale laboratory tests are …

The present study deals with model plate load tests conducted on geocell reinforced soft
clay beds to evaluate the effect of infill materials on the performance of the geocell …

Sandy soil/aggregate, such as might be required in a pavement foundation over a soft area,
was treated by the addition of one or more geocell layers and granulated rubber. It was then …

This article presents a numerical model coupling the finite difference method and discrete
element methods (FDM, DEM) for simulating the response of cellular geostructures to …
