This document investigates the behavior of reinforced soil using geogrid. Laboratory tests were conducted including liquid limit, plastic limit, proctor compaction, and unconfined compression tests. The optimum moisture content of the soil was determined to be used in testing. Unreinforced soil samples were tested to establish a baseline shear strength of 1.03 N/mm2. Reinforced soil samples with geogrid placed at different depths were then tested, finding the highest shear strength of 1.43 N/mm2 when the geogrid was placed at a depth of 1/3 from the top of the sample. The results indicate that geogrid reinforcement can significantly increase the shear strength of soil.
