Reinforced Soil as Road Subsoil Strengthening (Model Investigation)

The issue of distortion and load bearing capacity of non-cohesive, monogenic and two layer soil, with vertical reinforcement, was analyzed. Separate inserts, single, double, triple and complex were used. Resistance parameters, in function of their characteristics, referring to reinforcement inserts, were evaluated. Soil base bearing capacity was calculated, on the basis of the research results of large size physical models distortion state, constructed on laboratory scale.
