Abstract
In this paper, the behaviour of geosynthetic cementitious composite mat (GCCM) made of geotextiles and cement powder was investigated. The aims of the development of the GCCM are focused on geotechnical engineering applications. Experimental study includes physical and mechanical properties investigation of GCCM under installation and loading conditions. Testing of tension and flexure by monotonic loading showed that the GCCM can be used in soil reinforced structure. Additionally, puncture and frictional resistances of the GCCM are also important properties for slope protection. In conclusion, enhancing geosynthetic with cement paste can provide both strength and durability to be used for slope stabilisation. The key properties of GCCM reported in this paper can be used as design parameters of GCCM for geotechnical engineering applications.
