Abstract

The research object of this paper is a geogrid-reinforced embankment. Through numerical simulation and data monitoring, the characteristics of vertical displacement, horizontal displacement, vertical earth pressure, horizontal earth pressure, and internal force in a geogrid-reinforced embankment are studied. The results show that: (1) According to the analysis of monitoring data, the cumulative horizontal displacement decreases and the cumulative vertical displacement increases with time. Additionally, the cumulative vertical displacement is greater than the cumulative horizontal displacement. (2) The vertical pressure of the fill and tensile stress of the geogrid are largest at the center of the structure section, and the horizontal earth pressure is also largest on both sides of the structure. (3) The numerical simulation value and actual monitoring value of the project are compared with the design value. It is found that the tensile force, horizontal pressure, vertical pressure, horizontal displacement, and vertical displacement of the geogrid are less than the design value. The simulated characteristic value is greater than the actual monitored characteristic value. The research results provide a reference for the design of similar geogrid-reinforced embankments.
