In order to get high-powered glass fiber reinforced plastics geogrid and its mechanical characteristics, the properties and physical mechanical index of geogrid have been got through the study of its raw material, production process and important quality index. The analysis and study have been made to the geogrid's mechanical properties with loading speed, three-axial compression, temperature tensile test and FLAC3D numerical simulation, thus obtain the mechanical parameters of its displacement time curve, breaking strength and elongation at break. Some conclusions can be drawn as follows: (a) Using glass fiber materials, knurling and coated projection process, the f^acture strength and corrosion resistance of geogrid are greatly improved and the interlocking bite capability of soil is enhanced. (b) The fracture strength of geogrid is related to temperature and loading rate. When the surrounding rock pressure is fixed, the strength and anti-deformation ability of reinforced soil are significantly enhanced with increasing reinforced layers. (c) The pullout test shows the positive correlation between geogrid displacement and action time. (d) As a new reinforced material, the glass fiber reinforced plastics geogrid is not mature enough in theoretical research and practical experience, so it has become an urgent problem both in theoretical study and practical innovation.展开更多

Outdoor photo-oxygen aging tests for high density polyethylene(HDPE) geogrid have been carried out in the base. Test results show that in the initial nine months,the tensile strength of geogrid remains unchanged or even gets larger,while the corresponding strain at break decreases slightly,exhibiting hard and brittle trend due to secondary compensatory responses to the ultraviolet(UV) aging: UV provides the required chemical crosslinking energy,resulting in the polymer crosslinking reaction. Tensile strength of the geogrid increases by about 5% in the initial nine months,but decreases after the initial nine months. The long-term research results at the test base could provide first-hand data for researching the aging properties of HDPE geogrid.展开更多
