Resumo(s)
Numerical modelling of geogrids is a challenging task, with extruded geogrids often presenting complex geometries and nonlinear tensile response even at low strain rates. In this study, threedimensional (3D) models were developed in ABAQUS to investigate the in-isolation tensile response of extruded geogrids, accounting for a detailed geometric discretization. Hyperbolic constitutive models were used to represent the nonlinear tensile response, including fracture simulation. A benchmarking exercise was initially performed using the literature data to assess the main numerical modelling parameters for a precise and time efficient simulation. Then, a case study composed of three extruded geogrids were used to validate the model. Particular emphasis was given on the data treatment of the case study, namely with the development of a data-driven model to obtain the most representative load strain curve from experimental specimens. The modelling approach proposed in this study was capable of capturing the inisolation tensile response of extruded geogrids with good accuracy, and accounting for softening and fracture responses.
