Abstract

A unconsolidated-undrained triaxial test of vertically reinforced clay was carried out. Fiberglass geogrid was used as reinforced material in the form of centrally symmetrical arrangement. The stress-strain relationship, strength characteristics and failure modes of reinforced clay were studied. The effects of different reinforced diameters, different height of vertical bars and different confining pressures on the strength of reinforced clay were discussed. The results showed that the vertical reinforcement has played a role in the performance of the reinforcement from the beginning and greatly improved the shear strength of the soil. The installation of the vertical reinforcement has a significant effect on the reinforcement effect, and there is an optimal form of reinforcement.
