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.
