The sensor-enabled geogrid (SEGG) technology has been introduced and developed by the authors in the past few years as a new category of geogrid products that possess built-in strain-sensing capability in addition to their conventional reinforcement/stabilization function in geotechnical and transportation applications. The SEGG strain-sensing function arises from their tensoresistivity, which is the sensitivity of their electrical conductivity to tensile strain. This paper reports the state of development of the SEGG technology and reports latest findings on both the in-isolation and in-soil tensoresistivity performance of SEGG specimens. Results indicate that the technology holds promise to serve as an alternative to conventional instrumentation for the performance monitoring of geotechnical structures.

“…Giroud et al, who conducted a series of studies, filmed the "tensioned membrane theories" [2,3]. Collin et al reached a platform reinforced by multiple geogrids and believed that the reinforced soil should be considered as a rigid beam which delivered the load from the top of the embankment to piles [4].…”

Abstract. Geogrid used in embankment changes the mechanical behavior of embankment. Eight groups of static loading test and analysis of reinforced embankment with geogrid have made in this article. The results are: (1) stress concentration ratio of the pile to the soil was impacted by replacement ratio of composite ground, load level, reinforced layers, position and tension strength of reinforced body; (2) Position of tension of geogrid maximum is influenced by pile spacing, reinforced layers and position of reinforced body.

“…One of the most common uses of geosynthetics is in pavement construction, where soft and low-strength soil conditions prevail. In this application, the benefits associated with the use of geosynthetic reinforcement are: (a) to minimize differential and total settlements; (b) to improve the bearing capacity of the soft subsoil; (c) to prevent contamination of the base materials allowing for more open graded, free-draining aggregates; (d) to reduce the pavement thickness; and (e) to extend the service life of the pavement [4,7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Some previous research and experimental studies on sabkha soils have been conducted in the last few decades.…”

This paper focuses on the construction technique of road embankment which crosses a section of about 11 km on sabkha soils of Chott El Hodna in Algeria. Due to the poor bearing capacity of sabkha surface and the rising water table over the surface, serious difficulties were encountered during the investigation of the subsurface soil and the construction of the first embankment layers. In this construction site, the use of basal geosynthetic layer to maintain the performance of embankment was found to have relevant reinforcing effect by increasing the soil bearing capacity to allow safe construction of the first layers and improving the compaction quality. Based on the in situ observations and the geotechnical investigation, numerical simulations were performed using the software PLAXIS. The results have shown the contribution conditions of geosynthetics to improve the bearing capacity of sabkha soils.
