Settlement Characteristics of Short-fiber Reinforced Soil under Dynamic Loading

동적하중에 의한 단섬유 보강토의 침하 특성

To analyze the settlement characteristics of short-fiber reinforced soil(SFRS) under dynamic loading, a series of tests with loading condition of 5 Hz frequency and 500,000 cycles were performed. The materials used for tests are a soil of SM type and short-fibers with polypropylene and monofilament or fibrillated type. From the tests, average plastic settlement of SFRS at PPF38(0.3%), PPF38(0.5%), PPM60(0.2%) is low. Elastic settlement of SFRS is low at PPM60(0.2%) and is high at PPF60(0.5% ).
