Abstract:In order to investigate the deformation and strength characteristics of reinforced sand, a series of direct shear tests were performed. Phosphor bronze strips or sheets were used as reinforcement. Constant volume tests, as well as constant pressure tests, were conducted with different forms of reinforcement stiffness , surface area and surface friction. Test results show that the reinforcing efficiency is higher for reinforcement with larger surface area and rough surface texture. The dilatancy and shear displ… Show more
