In this study, cyclic behavior and dynamic properties of Renusagar pond ash samples reinforced with geotextiles have been studied. Pond ash samples were collected from the upstream side of the pond ash embankment. Laboratory tests have been carried out to obtain the material properties of the pond ash. Strain-controlled cyclic triaxial tests have been carried out on reconstituted pond ash samples with and without geotextiles, at varying confining pressures (70, 100, and 150kPa), loading frequencies (1 and 0.5Hz), and cyclic shear-strain amplitudes (0.5, 0.8, and 1.05%). The woven geotextiles were used as reinforcing materials, which were placed in the pond ash samples in one and three layers. Results show that the pond ash samples reinforced with geotextiles exhibit better friction angle, drainage properties, and liquefaction resistance. It may be concluded that pond ash reinforced with geotextiles can be used effectively as embankment construction material. (C) 2016 American Society of Civil Engineers.
