An instrumented geogrid reinforced slope in central Italy: field measurements and FEM analysis results

摘要

A 15 m high green faced reinforced slope was built in 1996 to stabilise a landslide situated on the Montone hill in the province of Perugia (Italy). The reinforced slope was built using locally available soils as fill material and HDPE mono-oriented extruded geogrids as reinforcement. The reinforced slope has been instrumented with strain gages connected to the reinforcing geogrids and with total pressure cells; full scale in situ pull-out tests have been performed as well.
