Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The suitability of decomposed granite as an embankment fill material has been investigated. Using a sample from the Shasta Bally batholith in Northern California, important mechanical properties were studied in oedometer and triaxial tests. In addition, the feasibility of using geogrid reinforcements in decomposed granite embankments to enable steepening of side slopes was investigated through direct shear and pullout tests. Experimental results show that breakage is primarily controlled by the applied strain level rather than the stress level.
