What is it about?
A series of large-scale direct shear tests is carried out on geogrid-subballast assemblies to investigate how much improvement in shear strength by the inclusion of geogrids. Numerical simulation using Discrete Element Method is carried out to study the geogrid-subballast interface in micro-mechanical perspective.

Why is it important?
This study provides scientific quantification and evidences on the use of geogrids to improve the performance of railway sub-ballast/ballast
Perspectives
The proposed discrete element model (DEM) can be used for other applications/materials.
