Influence of Stone Shape Factor on the Pull-Out Resistance of Geogrid in the Soil-Rock Mixture by Yongshuai Sun, Xuefeng Li, Guihe Wang

“…When the stone paved in the model box changes from a single layer to a double layer, the pull-out resistance of the geogrid increases, and there is a disturbance range in the contact interface between the geogrid and the stone; stone blocks 5 cm away from the geogrid surface can still have an indirect effect on the pull-out resistance of geogrids; the pull-out resistance of geogrid in clay is greater than that in the sand; and an empirical expression for predicting the pull-out resistance of geogrids is obtained. …”
