The interaction characteristics of geosynthetics with fill materials are the key factors for geosynthetic reinforcement projects; hence
it is essential to study interaction characteristics by pull out tests. The comprehensive investigation into the interaction characteristics of 5 kinds of domestic geosynthetics with sand and lime fly ash was presented by pull out tests. Experimental results show: (1) Lime fly ash is light in unit weight
high in shear strength and its pull out coefficient (Cpo); therefore
it is ideal fill material; (2) Geosynthetics are arranged in Cpo from high to low: polyester (PET)warp knitting geogrids
uniaxial/biaxial oriented geogrids
geonets and geotextiles; (3) The variation of Cpo for various geosynthetics and fill materials is larger
hence Cpo should be determined through pull out tests for concrete projects. These conclusions can be used to guide choosing geosynthetic type and to make research on geosynthetic reinforcement mechanism.
