| Abstract | This paper summarizes the results from a series of large scale cyclic model load tests on geocell reinforced and unreinforced homogeneous sand subgrades. The sand subgrades are prepared at 70 % relative density thru pluviation technic in a large steel tank measuring 1 m$^{3}$. A cyclic load of 0.7 and 7 kN was applied on a circular steel plate of 150 mm diameter to replicate a portion of load transfer from an equivalent single axle wheel load (ESAL) on the sand subgrade. The cyclic load was applied through a double acting dynamic hydraulic 100 kN actuator. A series of tests were conducted to study the effects of width and height of a geocell reinforcement on the cyclic behavior of sand subgrades. The performance improvement is quantified in terms of traffic benefit ratios (TBR), cumulative plastic deformations (CPD), modulus of subgrade reaction (k$_{s}$), resilient modulus (M$_{r}$) and rut depth reduction (RDR) for different number of cycles and plate settlements. The configuration of the geocell that provides highest performance in terms of TBR, CPD, and RDR, is considered to be the optimum size of the geocell. It is observed that the optimum geometry of the geocell is capable of reducing the rut depth of about 75 % at 100 cycles and provide about a TBR of 23 at 10 % of settlement ratio. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
