TEST STUDY ON ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF GABION STRUCTURES
In order to study mechanical characteristic of gabion meshes, engineering properties of reinforced gabion retaining wall and green reinforced gabion retaining wall, tests including air tensile tests of gabion meshes, fatigue and aseismatic tests on gabion structures were carried out. The main tensile mechanical indexes of gabion meshes, fatigue property and seismic behavior of these two gabion structures were obtained. Test results showed: Air tensile curves of gabion mesh showed a zigzag shape; Main factors influencing the dynamic deformation behavior of gabion structures were amplitude of dynamic load, vibration times and so on, and vibration frequency had no significant influence; In fatigue tests, the maximum accumulated lateral deformation occurred in the third layer for reinforced gabion retaining wall, and the fifth layer for green reinforced gabion retaining wall; Accumulated deformation ratios of gabion structures were less than 1％ under fatigue load; Both of these two gabion structures were excellent aseismatic structures, and they could bear earthquake action with seismic intensity of eight.
