Abstract

The load-carrying capacity for geocell with different tension and compression modulus is researched in this paper. The equilibrium equation of geocell with different tension and compression modulus is erected from the force diagram of geocell. The tension stress is solved from the equilibrium equation. The factors affecting the solution of geocell´s tension stress are analyzed. The results indicate that the geocell´s tension stress is affected strongly by the ratio of geocell´s tension to compression modulus and the designers should take the influence of the different tension and compression modulus into account in the latter design of geocell.
