Özet
Depending on the project traffic, the total thickness of a granular base can reach excessive values. Granular layers of large thicknesses undoubtedly extend the duration of a project and cause high project total costs. In this study, the improvement in settlement behaviour of unbound granular base layers reinforced with geocell was investigated by way of large-scale laboratory tests and finite element modeling. Plate loading tests were performed on unreinforced and geocell reinforced base layers, which were constructed on subgrade soil with a low bearing capacity under 1750 kPa overload condition. It was determined that the amount of settlement observed at the same stress levels decreased with an increase in the aperture size from 440 mm to 660 mm and the geocell height from 100 mm to 150 mm. The reduction in settlement potential, which reached 78% compared to the unreinforced reference section around …
