ABSTRACT

This paper reports the results from serials of largescale direct shear tests carried out on silty gravel soil confined with or without multiple geocells. The comparisons of large-scale shear test with triaxial compression test for the same type of soil are conducted to evaluate the influences of testing method on the shear strength indices as well. Meanwhile, the testing results of geocell reinforced cement stabilizing silty gravel soil are studied and analyzed as well.
