Abstract:
This study delves into the optimization of bamboo geogrid properties for enhancing sustainable engineering applications, with a keen focus on flexible pavement systems. Utilizing a Taguchi method-based Design of Experiment (DOE) alongside Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the investigation examines the influence of key parameters—thickness, aperture size, Young's modulus, and density—on the mechanical performance of bamboo geogrids. Results indicate that optimal combinations of these variables significantly impact geogrid deflection, suggesting that precise adjustments can improve load-bearing capacity and reduce pavement deformation. Through regression analysis, a predictive model for geogrid deflection was developed, underscoring the importance of specific material properties in determining geogrid performance. The results identify an optimal combination of these parameters that significantly reduces geogrid deflection, thereby improving load-bearing capacity and minimizing pavement deformation. Specifically, the study finds that a higher Young's modulus and specific thickness levels substantially contribute to enhanced geogrid efficiency, while aperture size and density play nuanced roles. The study determined that a bamboo geogrid with a thickness of 30 mm, aperture size of 25 mm, Young's modulus of 30000 MPa, and a specified lower density significantly enhances the structural stability and effectiveness of soil reinforcement. This combination was found to provide the optimal balance between load distribution and minimal deflection, ensuring the geogrid's integrity and performance in pavement applications.
