Pullout Resistance of Welded Wire Mats Embedded in Soil

Welded wire mesh has been used in the past as soil reinforcement in the construction of reinforced soil embankments. Involved in the design of these embankments is the external and internal stability. The internal stability has two failure mechanisms; tension failure and pullout failure of the welde...

Pullout Resistance of Welded Wire Mats Embedded in Soil
description Welded wire mesh has been used in the past as soil reinforcement in the construction of reinforced soil embankments. Involved in the design of these embankments is the external and internal stability. The internal stability has two failure mechanisms; tension failure and pullout failure of the welded wire mesh. This paper presents the results of laboratory tests on different sizes of welded wire mats embedded in different types of soils. These tests were performed on mats that are much larger than in previous tests. These tests measured the pullout resistance as a function of the number of embedded wires, the diameter of the wire, and the overburden pressure. This data is plotted to allow design of reinforced soil embankments in various types of soils and to compare the results with theoretical relationships.
