Abstract
Abstract: The variation of the stress-strain behavior and shear -parameters of reinforced silty sand is studied. The geotextiles were provided at different heights in the sample and tested in unconsolidated undrained condition. Two types of geotextiles, woven and nonwoven were used as reinforcement and the experiment was conducted at three water contents. Tests were performed on samples prepared at OMC, dry of OMC and wet of OMC in order to study the effect of water content. The results demonstrated that geotextile inclusion increases the peak strength, axial strain at failure. The sample was found to fail due to bulging between the layers. Keywords: Optimum Moisture Content, Maximum Dry Density, Unconsolidated Undrained, Deviator Stress, Normal Stress
