LABORATORY STUDIES OF EQUIVALENT GEOSYNTHETIC MATERIAL FOR FLUME TESTS

The article presents the results of laboratory research of soils and geosynthetic materials (geogrids) used as reinforcement elements of soil embankments. The strength and deformation characteristics were the estimated parameters of the soil, and the main parameter of selection for geogrid was the axial stiffness of the material, the assessment of which was reduced to measuring the tensile strength of geogrid and its equivalent material.
